@Anastasiya OH duh 😭 my bad
You could ask the older adults to get the RSV vaccine, they recommend anyone over 65 get it. Do whatever you feel is safe and do not let people make you feel guilty for their own selfishness. I’m hoping my girl gets here before her date so she’s a little over a month when (US) thanksgiving hits but I’ve had this same thought. Did you get the RSV vac when you were pregnant?
We are taking ours to Thanksgiving dinner, but all my husband's family is in the healthcare industry, so we know they are all fully vaccinated
I'm gonna baby wear
everyone comes to our house just put list of rules near baby. and repercussions if not followed. your child your rules
Did most of your family members get the Tdap shot? That made me feel a little bit better and then I always had them constantly washing their hands with our first and if we were coming for holidays, I asked if any of them were sick just so we could keep her less sick.
If you decide you would like to bring your baby you can try baby wearing and if anyone asks just tell them it’s complicated to take them out. Or just be honest and say I have anxiety about the baby getting sick I’d rather not pass him around! The second one is easier said than done tho!
We usually travel out of state for the holidays to visit our families but we decided will not be going to either this year. We don’t feel comfortable flying with a newborn i& then introducing him to soo many people (huge families) that we know aren’t great with respecting boundaries, especially in the peak of sick season. We told our them that if they want to come visit us for the holidays then they are more than welcome to travel to us. That way I can have more control over the environment. This is the decision that what works for us.
isn’t thanksgiving in november 😭
