But, I really can't miss a whole day work right before the September 15th deadline. I'll see if I can leave early and get him. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tmi-question-stomach-bug-and-daycare#post-1033460 Wed, 21 Aug 2013 09:54:38 +0000 regberadaisy 1033460@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It depends on the severity of the diarrhea. But once they're sent home they need to be diarrhea free for 24 hours before coming back. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tmi-question-stomach-bug-and-daycare#post-1033454 Wed, 21 Aug 2013 09:53:20 +0000 Smurfette 1033454@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@T.H.O.U.: Yeah R's are pretty runny. She has leaks all the time. But usually just one leak a day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tmi-question-stomach-bug-and-daycare#post-1033448 Wed, 21 Aug 2013 09:51:10 +0000 Mrsbells 1033448@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@littlek: yes if LO throws up or has diarrhea they make us pick her up </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tmi-question-stomach-bug-and-daycare#post-1033444 Wed, 21 Aug 2013 09:50:26 +0000 T.H.O.U. 1033444@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: "uncontained" meaning if it isn't kept in the diaper because its too runny. It helps because some kids just naturally have runny poo. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tmi-question-stomach-bug-and-daycare#post-1033423 Wed, 21 Aug 2013 09:44:21 +0000 littlek 1033423@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@T.H.O.U.: They say he's "contained" but he just has an awful rash from all of this. :( Poor baby. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tmi-question-stomach-bug-and-daycare#post-1033415 Wed, 21 Aug 2013 09:43:18 +0000 littlek 1033415@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaMoose: Yay, unfortunately that is not the case with us. I am the one that stays home if LO is sick. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tmi-question-stomach-bug-and-daycare#post-1033411 Wed, 21 Aug 2013 09:42:21 +0000 Smurfette 1033411@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@T.H.O.U.: Really?

They will usually call after the first, and after the second you have to pick up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tmi-question-stomach-bug-and-daycare#post-1033365 Wed, 21 Aug 2013 09:33:57 +0000 MamaMoose 1033365@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our LO has to stay home if she has diarrhea or fever. They are a little less strict with her in particular because she has food allergies that can cause upset stomach. But if she shows signs of being sick she'd have to come home. They just simply can't risk getting the other kids sick. As much as it's hard hubs and I just alternate days staying home when she's sick. I wouldn't want another parent to send a child to her class if they had diarrhea. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tmi-question-stomach-bug-and-daycare#post-1033358 Wed, 21 Aug 2013 09:31:48 +0000 Rubies 1033358@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our daycare sends kids home if they have a fever or diarhea. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tmi-question-stomach-bug-and-daycare#post-1033354 Wed, 21 Aug 2013 09:31:05 +0000 littlek 1033354@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Update: Just called daycare they said his stomach is still upset but that he's okay and he can stay. I really hope this is the last day of his tummy troubles. I feel so bad for him. :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tmi-question-stomach-bug-and-daycare#post-1033324 Wed, 21 Aug 2013 09:22:50 +0000 littlek 1033324@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. bird: No fever and no other signs of illness. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tmi-question-stomach-bug-and-daycare#post-1033319 Wed, 21 Aug 2013 09:21:55 +0000 littlek 1033319@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@anonysquire: I kept him home one day when he was vomitting. I thought he was better but I just checked the webcam and they have already changed him which makes me think things did not go well this morning. He's not acting sick. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tmi-question-stomach-bug-and-daycare#post-1033312 Wed, 21 Aug 2013 09:20:16 +0000 mrs. bird 1033312@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>when i worked in a daycare our policy was 3 loose BMs &amp; kiddo had to be picked up. if they had a fever or were showing other signs of being ill, they had to be picked up right away, but just diarrhea had to happen 3 times before they needed to go home. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tmi-question-stomach-bug-and-daycare#post-1033310 Wed, 21 Aug 2013 09:20:10 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 1033310@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our daycare requires us to pick her up if she has 2 or more runny poos during the time she's there, and we can't bring her back until she's either better or been cleared by a doctor. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tmi-question-stomach-bug-and-daycare#post-1033306 Wed, 21 Aug 2013 09:18:42 +0000 swurlygurl 1033306@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our in-home daycare doesn't *require* it, but suggests that we should. It's actually going around our daycare at the moment, but DD hasn't gotten the bug yet (knock on wood!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tmi-question-stomach-bug-and-daycare#post-1033299 Wed, 21 Aug 2013 09:15:25 +0000 anonysquire 1033299@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If its a stomach bug and not food poisoning I would keep my LO home. It's not fair to the other kids and staff to expose them to it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tmi-question-stomach-bug-and-daycare#post-1033255 Wed, 21 Aug 2013 09:01:54 +0000 littlek 1033255@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I know each daycare is different, but does your daycare require you to pick up your LO if they have diarhea? LO has had a stomach bug for the past few days. I stayed home with him Monday and took him to daycare yesterday. When I picked them up they talked about his explosive diarrhea but did not mention what would happen if it happened again... so, has anyone had to pick up their LO because of a stomach bug? I have a TON of work and I really need him to stay at school today. </p>
