I asked about secondary drowning and he said it gets a lot of publicity but it's uncommon. He also said he prefers to stress ways to prevent traditional drowning, because that is unfortunately very common, especially in the summer. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/secondary-drowning-blog-post/page/2#post-2597767 Wed, 03 Aug 2016 12:14:57 +0000 PawPrints 2597767@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did some reading on secondary drowning when we first started letting DD crawl around in pools, and the thing I keep going back to is the quote from a physician saying something like "I cannot emphasize enough how rare this is." It is awful that it happens, but I do feel it causes far more fear than is needed (and yes, there are blog posts/articles every summer because they generate a ton of clicks!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/secondary-drowning-blog-post/page/2#post-2597717 Wed, 03 Aug 2016 11:15:39 +0000 Mrsbells 2597717@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Running Elley: This is on the news a lot each summer and honestly it just makes me a bit paranoid everytime LO potentially swallows some water </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/secondary-drowning-blog-post/page/2#post-2597688 Wed, 03 Aug 2016 10:41:41 +0000 Mama Bird 2597688@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah, scary stuff. I heard about this a few years ago and it's always in the back of my mind, especially because the kids pretty much live on the beach all summer. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/secondary-drowning-blog-post/page/2#post-2597583 Wed, 03 Aug 2016 09:14:57 +0000 autumnlove 2597583@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@littlebug: so scary!

Super scary. D fell in my BIL's pool over Memorial Day weekend and I was hyper-vigilant looking out for signs of this. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/secondary-drowning-blog-post#post-2597570 Wed, 03 Aug 2016 09:06:03 +0000 autumnlove 2597570@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Good older thread to bump!

DD has no fear when it comes to water and we let her explore her boundaries safely but this is great information to know and look out for especially in our situation as I would assume she would be fine once she got out of the pool safely. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/secondary-drowning-blog-post#post-1650591 Thu, 22 May 2014 00:59:51 +0000 Running Elley 1650591@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@HLK208: Omg that's so heartbreaking...makes me sick :(</p> <p>I'm glad that I'm not the only one who didn't know about this- I figured it was something everyone else knew!
