He doesn't sleep at daycare and I think rest is really what he needs. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-decide-if-you-need-to-keep-lo-home#post-1874981 Tue, 23 Sep 2014 19:58:32 +0000 Mrs. Pen 1874981@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I follow daycare rules if fever, rash, diarrhea or vomiting. So far he's had respiratory viruses with fevers so he's had to stay home a lot this month. If it was a cold I'd still send him, but if he was acting absolutely miserable I'd reconsider it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-decide-if-you-need-to-keep-lo-home#post-1874979 Tue, 23 Sep 2014 19:52:59 +0000 QueensBee 1874979@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'll send him with a runny nose but keep him home if he has a fever, diarrhea, or bad cough and congestion. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-decide-if-you-need-to-keep-lo-home#post-1874974 Tue, 23 Sep 2014 19:48:51 +0000 NovBaby1112 1874974@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't send her if she has a fever, diarrhea, or is clearly miserable and stuffed up. I send her if she has a runny nose or small cough. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-decide-if-you-need-to-keep-lo-home#post-1874933 Tue, 23 Sep 2014 18:53:16 +0000 Smurfette 1874933@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Fever or diarrhea she stays home.

I just thought it was a cough but it got worse really quickly after I left. Now I ask DH to make the call. Eases my mom guilt. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-decide-if-you-need-to-keep-lo-home#post-1874923 Tue, 23 Sep 2014 18:42:13 +0000 lawbee11 1874923@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If she has a runny nose I send her, otherwise I'd be home all the time. I only keep her home if she has a fever or diarrhea. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-decide-if-you-need-to-keep-lo-home#post-1874909 Tue, 23 Sep 2014 18:21:45 +0000 Freckles 1874909@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was a pushover during the early years. Even if LO no longer had a fever but looked like she could use an extra day of rest, i kept her at home. I'd try and gauge how miserable she looked that morning and go from there. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-decide-if-you-need-to-keep-lo-home#post-1874861 Tue, 23 Sep 2014 17:40:06 +0000 blackbird 1874861@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't send if fever or diahhrea. Otherwise she goes </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-decide-if-you-need-to-keep-lo-home#post-1874856 Tue, 23 Sep 2014 17:35:20 +0000 ladybee 1874856@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>M is 11 months and started daycare earlier this month. He has a horrible cold. Had a fever Monday until late morning so I followed the fever free for 24 hour rule. No fever all day today but still miserable with a constant runny nose. I'm not sure if I should send him tomorrow or not. </p> <p>I already took a half day for an appointment of his that I had to cancel due to the fever. Should I just take the morning too and stay home with him? How do you decide? </p> <p>Btw, he doesn't sleep at daycare at all. </p>
