Guest guest Posted January 4, 2005 Report Share Posted January 4, 2005 Yes Deb, that was all very strange and I never did figure it out. His fevers would generally start on a Friday evening, and go on into Saturday and sometimes Sunday, by Monday morning he was ALWAYS fine. (his fevers would go as high as 105, we treated him with Belladonna) We had mold in our apartment at that time, but the timeline of the fevers suggested it was something that happened at the day care on a Friday..... but not EVERY friday, it was very strange. Being new parents we were kinda timid, and I thought my son crying every single morning I left him there was normal - and he was there for well over a year. When he moved to another day care, all of a sudden he didn't cry every morning, and that was a NEW DAYCARE - very strange....... I wish I knew what it was.

Guest guest Posted January 4, 2005 Report Share Posted January 4, 2005 My first question to any daycare director would be - what type of pesticides (in what form- bait or spray) are used and where and how often are they applied? Where I used to work, they sprayed all the baseboards in the entire building with an insecticide once a month on a Friday afternoon.

Guest guest Posted January 4, 2005 Report Share Posted January 4, 2005 , I think those things are BAD because they administer them when they are not needed....... Check to see what they're for and decide from that point on. I declined both the eye goop (to prevent infection from a mother who has a STD) and the Vit K (blood clotting - very seldom needed) Chelly Owner of: http://www.diapertesters.com Re: New one here... I live in West Des Moines, Iowa, USA. I'm due June 10th, 2005...but I think I'm a bit further along than that (by two weeks maybe)...because I got pregnant so closely to when I miscarried. I'm in the process of finding a gp/peditrician for the baby (I really don't have a doctor)...we're a bit new to the area. What are people's thoughts on vit. K? Do you think it's bad even if it's orally administered? What do you think of the eye ointment? I look forward to getting to know all of you and sharing info with you--thanks for letting me join! > welcome. > > A Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 4, 2005 Report Share Posted January 4, 2005 <<I'm due June 10th, 2005>> I have 2 June babies, one at the beginning of the month and one at the end. :-) My youngest is also completely unvaxxed, forgot to mention that earlier. ;-) <<What are people's thoughts on vit. K? Do you think it's bad even if it's orally administered?>> I tried as hard as I could to avoid that with Shayna, but they demanded it, unless I had a letter from a dr which I did not. :-/ If you can get a letter, I would. They have an oral version? Haven't heard of it. <<What do you think of the eye ointment?>> I would avoid that one if you can too. :-( Best bet is to have your baby at home! :-) Ohio )0(~~~)0(~~~)0( Mom to Brittany, born 8/31/93, dx'd-IDDM 5/28/01; , born 6/28/97; and Shayna, born 6/1/00.

Guest guest Posted January 5, 2005 Report Share Posted January 5, 2005 Cath, I was just plain bolshie! Refused all scans and screening in pregnancy. Went for low-risk, midwife led unit - no Entenox in sight! Better - no doctors! >The vit k, maybe you have the option of drops or injection? worth > checking.

I had a horrible m/w who waited til my dh had gone on 3rd day pp, then she pounced on me. Curtained me off from other mums on ward and gave me the third degree. I got very angry with her, and b.p. rose astronomically. She told me I was being irresponsible, and if that the leukaemia studies were rubbish. I asked why she wouldn't offer oral drops (not that I was going to have them anyway!) and she said they were pretty much pointless because newborns often vomit feeds and then you wouldn't know if they'd ingested the drops. I'm afraid I told her where to get off...) Didn't enjoy it much at the time, but in retrospect...;o) > > Certainly you can up vit k foods and if bfg it will go through.

The daft thing is that by the time they've given you all the hassle about it, and the arguments have gone back and forth the *window of risk* time is passed.

But we are following the US in terms of becoming more litigious and trusts now get sued a lot more often. Even those HVs who accidentally give MMR when it's been rejected stand to get prosecuted more readily... What it boils down to is that you have to know your rights and stick to them.

Guest guest Posted January 5, 2005 Report Share Posted January 5, 2005 Unfortunately the response I hear most in answering that question is " Vaccines aren't 100% effective all the time. There is a small percentage of failure rate. " So that's how they get around the " don't expose our vaccinated children to your unvaccinated children. " The KNOW vaccines aren't effective, but claim it's only for a small percentage. Yeah right... Kay *************** Oh, and I love the line, " if you don't vax we won't take you, because you'll be putting others in our practice at risk, " my response, " HA!! If they're vaxed, they shouldn't have anything to worry about, right???? Or are you saying that vax. doesn't work, and that you agree with me??
