I was strict for my son's grandparents and aunts and uncles that saw him a lot. But he was born in January and a late-term preemie. I'm not as concerned about this June baby, since she's older during flu season. Maybe I should be, but it was such a fight last time, I don't want to deal with it again.
I had summer babies that were 3-4 months old when flu season hit. I was a sticker for tdap shots when people were around them as newborns, but have not pushed flu. Really the only people around them during winter is my family and they always get flu shots.
If you have pneumonia and feel like death, but are starving, what do you send your DH to go get you? Chicken soup is a hard no, it's a pregnancy aversion.

Maybe one of those flavored rice packets? Vegetable soup?

Chicken was a huge aversion for me, too. Sweets always did the trick - those fruit snack things pretty much always tasted good to me during pregnancy.
preppy, I would want mac & cheese. Or ice cream. Chicken (in all forms) was a hard no for most of pregnancy for me too.
Bernadine, I never really asked people about TDaPs and flu shots, despite having a winter newborn. My parents asked when I was pg what they should get to be around Hobbes as a newborn, and they both got TDaPs for me. They were getting annual flu shots anyway, so that was great. I am honestly not sure what ILs got. I do feel better this winter, though, now that she will be vaccinated herself for pertussis and flu.

Panera broccoli cheddar in a bread bowl. Or pad Thai (no chicken). Mac n cheese. Pretty much any carb.
Baby is due in dec. Both dh and I will be getting flu shots. (I have gotten them every year for at least 10-15 years. I work in health care) I will not be asking others to get any shots, but I will either wear baby or keep her in her carseat whenever we got through cold and flu season.
We asked all grandparents and aunts/uncles to get TDAP and flu shot. In my opinion they should be getting them anyway, but with a newborn in flu season it's extra important. Luckily, they immediately said yes and it wasn't an issue.
I asked the grandparents and nanny to get flu and Tdap, and recommended it to aunts and uncles. Of course, we all got the shots, too (me, DH, kids).
I have 2 December and 2 January babies. For the December ones, especially, we had a ton of holiday events with newborns in cold/flu season. I wanted to be as protected as possible.
I remember my other question. Is the carseat safer in the middle seat, without the LATCH, or on the side using LATCH? I thought middle was safest, but I just can't get the seat installed as snugly with the seatbelt as with the LATCH.
My baby has kept down 1/2 a banana (3x) and 1/2 applesauce pouch since Thursday. He's lost over a pound and was still vomiting last night. His well check is today at the pedi. How much would you push more of a work up? When I called Monday they said just to let it run its course as long as he was having wet diapers, but I feel 6 days of puking is a lot (assuming he pukes today).

It depends on if it's properly installed -- is it not as snug or does it move more than one inch? If it's a good install middle is safer (LATCH or seatbelt doesn't matter), but if you can't get a good middle install the side is safer.

It moves more than an inch. H had it installed really well, but then I had to put the base in my mom's car, and we can't get it back in my car as well.
DD's daycare encourages treats to send home for their Halloween party. I'm torn between a few ideas. Would you prefer edible or non-edible? Candy or no?

Try a seatbelt install in the middle. I was able to get a much better install with a seatbelt than I ever did with LATCH.

When I try with the seatbelt, it makes the base crooked, because it pulls up on the side I'm pulling to tighten the seatbelt. I feel like a moron for not getting this right.
We didn't force anyone to get the TDaP or the flu shot, but I did force my H to get both. Actually, he had the TDaP but not the flu shot for DS and then the flu shot but not the TDaP when DD was born. No one but our sitter was really with them for long enough that it was necessary and I think the sitter gets a flu shot yearly (she has 4 kids in school lol).
