I have been using it for 7 months and this was the first time it dripped after using it. It freaked me out but the thing works! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-sick-is-too-sick-for-daycare#post-1149703 Mon, 14 Oct 2013 20:07:31 +0000 swedishfish 1149703@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Katrocap: I think you should send him.

She says she'd rather him stay home if he has a runny nose. But, from what other moms have said, that would be almost all the time! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-sick-is-too-sick-for-daycare#post-1149691 Mon, 14 Oct 2013 20:01:01 +0000 MsLipGloss 1149691@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think the rules vary by daycare, but for us, I can't take LO if she has vomited or had diarrhea in the last 24 hours (has to be no incidents for 24 hours before she can return), and/or if she has a fever (I think it's anything 100 or over). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-sick-is-too-sick-for-daycare#post-1149689 Mon, 14 Oct 2013 20:00:35 +0000 yoursilverlining 1149689@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our daycare has always said (and I've asked a few times haha) that a runny nose is fine. They will only send her home, and ask us to help LO home, if she has a fever over 100 and/or is vomiting. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-sick-is-too-sick-for-daycare#post-1149686 Mon, 14 Oct 2013 20:00:15 +0000 swedishfish 1149686@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Does he have a fever? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-sick-is-too-sick-for-daycare#post-1149681 Mon, 14 Oct 2013 19:58:26 +0000 Katrocap 1149681@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS is 9 months and started showing signs of a cold on Friday at daycare (runny nose, congestion, cough). He was still sick this morning, so I stayed home with him. I took off work and really can't take off tomorrow, nor can DH. My MIL would be able to watch DS if need be tomorrow, but she lives 1.25 hours away. So ... how sick is too sick for daycare? Am I just overreacting to his runny nose and cough? </p>
