[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am not Covid crazy but fwiw my third newborn was hospitalized with a cold that turned into viral pneumonia and she got a fever and then they had to give her a spinal tap and the works - just standard procedure to make sure it’s not sepsis (I think). My middle kid had come home from preschool with a cold that she caught. Sorry to say but I think this winter I might pull the others out too while you are on maternity leave or at least for the first 8 weeks or so - find out when they stop going really nuts when a baby gets a fever. My daughter was only 2-3 weeks old but they might do less and less at 6, then 8, then 12 weeks IIRC. Maybe your dr could give you an idea. Sorry!! [/quote]

Stop it. They do not automatically do a spinal tap on a baby with a fever. I know because I’ve had four. They tell you to call your doctor of course but they do not say “bring baby in for a spinal tap.”  This thread is something else. The Russians are getting better at English. Can’t even sense an accent. [/quote]

No - this 100% happened and it was standard procedure. More info here on an easy Google.

That said - it was 2015. Idk if things have changed since then. This is such standard procedure I know OP could ask any pedi about current day protocol is she wants. [/quote]
