[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Given Covid I don’t think the advice is completely off in terms of pulling the older ones out of daycare temporarily, but I think it’s over the top to say your vaccinated parents shouldn’t visit. A reasonable approach might be to have your parents stay with you for a while to help you out if you keep the older ones out of preschool for a bit.

In terms of next winter, you have to do what you need to do and I would not let a doctor guilt trip you but be aware that surges dues to the delta variant, or some other, may occur and it may seem more critical to keep your kids, especially the baby, out of a group setting for a few months.

Yeah not to pile on to the ped but do they have kids themselves?  To expect a mom recovering from childbirth to care for a newborn and two additional kids under 5 on her own without ANY help seems clueless at best, and when it comes to keeping out vaccinated grandparents, pretty uninformed.

Is there another ped in the practice you could see during the newborn visits?  I can understand not wanting to change doctors over this if you like them otherwise but you'll be going there a lot the first few months and you're not going to want to get that guilt trip every time.[/quote]
