Am I crazy?

Question

My husband's family has traveled a lot lately spain, mexico, and just many hours away from us and they haven't gotten a flu shot or anything am I crazy that I dont feel that comfortable them being around my 7 month old? They are getting mad but I am so nervous of her getting sick

Answer

Hmmm in the UK we don’t generally get a flu vaccine unless we’re vulnerable. 
So, old people, babies, pregnant women get it generally.
I would say maybe a little OTT? Ask them to wash hands, not kiss baby, not come if they are showing illness symptoms but not be around them at all...? I mean you are the parent so ultimately it’s up to you but personally it would be fine with me.

Answer

You aren’t crazy. Flu shot is important but shouldn’t be deal breaker. Traveling the world is concerning.. our Pediatrician always ask if we’ve been out of the country. BUT you don’t have to deny people entirely. As the mom you have a right to tell them not to hold/kiss baby. Insist to have people wash hands right before touching baby. I know it can be difficult around family to put foot down, I struggle with it, but do what makes you feel the most comfortable, it’s your choice. Good luck!

Answer

I think you’d be able to tell if they had the flu or signs of a cold. We all need germs in small amounts to build up the immunity so don’t over stress

Answer

No you’re not crazy! They could be sick just not showing symptoms yet! Your the mommy you can tell people they can’t see your baby all you want too!
