I’m pretty sure unless you’re traveling internationally to a country where measles is more common, that a baby doesn’t get the first dose of the MMR until 1 year. It’s not really feasible to isolate for a full 12 months. Maybe you could sweet talk your ped to giving it between 6-11 months but not sure if they’d do that without planned travel.

have isolated my kids as much as possible and am SO relieved that my youngest finally got mmr this week.

grandparents watch baby, we telework and shop curbside... 3 year old didn't start preschool until this year, after baby's 6 month vaccines, and we've been non stop sick. i do not regret the years of isolating her and feel bad for not isolating my baby more

So for a year you isolate??? Lol totally nuts

It is. It’s a damn shame we have to do this because others want to run around spreading disease.

Learn more about measles. It is one of the most contagious if not the most contagious disease out there. once it is endemic again - you will get it if not vaxxed. many of us grew up in this time when it was mostly eradicated from the USA. Easy of be anti-vax when your babies are basically free loading off the herd immunity around them. That era is coming to an end.

During the polio epidemic, the public health services and departments of sanitation would hang signs on houses that needed to be quarantine because people had polio. I truly hope we return to that.

Bottom line because if maga if you bring a kid into this world right now in this country you are a pro birth POS

Diseases are going to spread like wildfire for the next generation and with zero health care r yeah still waiting for that plan from Repukes which is never coming according to project 2025

If I were to have baby in current climate, I’d feel compelled to isolate my baby from any person not vaccinated and any public place until fully vaccinated.
Sucks - but as a parent, my job is to protect my child.

No you are not paying attention fool

Now people have to worry about the unvaccinated diseases that were pretty much eradicated.

You going to risk polio for an infant how about whooping cough

What’s wrong with you?

Not very much exposure -- provided the daycare verifies vaccination for everyone eligible who is allowed in the building. Ours did just that.

Can you link to this daycare? I'm still really confused how this is possible.

So, if I'm coming to pick up my kid, but because my sister had a minor emergency, I've got her kid in tow. Kid's vaccinated, but of course as auntie I don't carry around proof of that.

So do they keep my baby overnight? How does this play out?

I'm also entirely unsure why you think an unvaccinated baby can't pass the virus. When my kid was a week or so too young for the chicken pox vaccine, another baby who was a couple weeks younger came down with chicken pox. So, even though both kids were 100% on time for everything, my kid was still exposed.

Awww.. a MAHA

That 0.000... is based on past data. We now have RFK.

What you typed will sound quaint one day, a time before the MAGA idiots took over.

First of all, "except for daycare" is an enormous "except". Daycare is a huge source of germ exposure.

PP deliberately edited the prior post to omit important details…not helpful.

The daycare required full vaccination for anyone in the building of an age to be vaccine eligible. All the older kids and all adults had to show proof of full vaccination under CDC rules. This was before RFK. It was not much of an exception.

I am the PP. I went back to check because, like you did here, I do often edit posts to be clear of what I'm talking to. But in this case I didn't. I quoted every single word you typed.

I find that hard to believe. Are you telling me that your kid was in a daycare center that required vaccine records for every kid, every sibling of every kid, every parent, every emergency contact, the children of every emergency contact, and every staff member, delivery person, person coming in for an interview? And that they disallowed both medical exemptions and religious exemptions? That is amazing. I've worked in education a long time and I've never seen that degree of control.

Having said all that, that still means the majority of people in the infant room were unvaccinated, and unless those unvaccinated people's parents were also not grocery shopping with their child, or taking the child to older child's school or activities, or letting their older kids have playdates at their house, or taking kids to the pediatrician, then daycare is still a pretty significant source of potential contact.

I'm sure you will come back and say that the daycare only accepts first born children of people who do contactless grocery delivery, and checks the UPS guy's vaccine record. If that's true then I admit I was wrong and daycare care was only a small exception.

Babies are eligible to receive their first measles vaccine dose at 12 months old (not before). Currently, with the unvaccinated population, there have been measles outbreaks. If you must put your child in daycare, you can be exposed.

They can't play with your kids ?

You will not babysit them?

They can't be around other babies or strangers for X amount of time?

Or, are you the worst risk to them?

My kids and I are vaccinated so I don't care. No baby is fully vaccinated. Now, if you are sick, I'd avoid you.
