when did you take out baby?

[Sheridan]

Well I seem to go against the grain. When Jordan was diagnosed he was three weeks old and we had tickets to see a big open air football game in a packed out stadium. We seriously ummed and ahhed about it all. But in the end decided we would go because if we didn't know he had CF we would have gone and we thought we can't let this CF rule our life. But we also took Jordan to a shopping mall 4 days after his birth - i just had to get out.

Before people think the worst of me we never ever intentionly took him near sick people. In fact when we drove down 12 hours to introduce him to the family my MIL was just getting over a cold so we were staying in town with my parents and she had to wait 3 days before she saw her very first grandchild.

Sheridan,
I am not thinking the worst of you. I state the recommendations of the American Academy of Pediatrics. I strongly recommend what I'd do for my sister and her newborn son. I have seen a lot of badness where I work (a busy pediatric ICU). I err on the side of caution.

If my sister decided to take her son out before 30 days of life and he got a fever, he'd get the full septic workup. Would I be pissed? Yes I would and I would tell her. But I have to step back and remember, this is not my son... She had the information I gave her and she makes decisions (with her husband) regarding their child. Ultimately they are responsible for whatever happens despite my information. They have no right to blame anyone if anything happened as they had all the facts beforehand. As long as they know the information, they accept responsibility of what ensues should they not heed the recommendations.

Thankfully, my nephew is 7 weeks and is now getting out into the world. I can't control my sister's daily activities with him (she is a stay at home mom). She just realizes the consequences of her actions. He is, so far, very healthy.

So, I don't think anyone is BAD if they take their child out before 30 days. I just wouldn't, I wouldn't risk it.
