What's a "family health specialist"?


He is like what a peditrician or family doctor would be for you. He keeps us healthy.

I saw that too... Now I'm suspicious.


Why be suspicious? Everyone changes a few relevant details. DS becomes DD, 1 week becomes 3 weeks, etc.


My SON is three weeks old.

I never refered to him as DD.

Stomach viruses spread like wildfire. Where have you been?



To a 3 week old?


Assume they touched the baby. Touched kid's hands. Kid puts hand in mouth. Boom.


+1. They should never have come over having been sick the night before.


Kids yes, 3 week old infants, no, they can not voluntarily decide to place their hand in their mouth and suck on it.


What planet are you from? My kid came out of the womb sucking his thumb.

If people want to obscure the sex they say DC. And the age of the baby is relevant to the question she's asking


How do you know this? Because you think that's what they should do? I can tell you that I have deliberately changed the sex of my child in order to make myself less recognizable, in totally benign postings. Just for more anonymity.

Of course OP could be a troll. I doubt it though.

the protocols were NOT established for any legal reason, they were established to save infant lives.
they are the highest form of evidence based medicine.

and pray tell, what are the side effects of a spinal tap? because you sound pretty uninformed when you mention risks of spinal taps. the risks of a spinal tap are pain (most ERs use topical anesthesia), bleeding (any time of needle enters the body, this is a risk), and the risk of causing an infection are SIGNIFICANTLY lower than the risk that your baby will die of untreated meningitis.

i hope you develop some common sense before this baby gets much older.

I think PP meant irrelevant details. Some people change those to make themselves less recognizable.
