You're the MOH. You need to be there. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-go-to-a-bachelorette-party-if-your-baby-is-sick/page/2#post-2561218 Fri, 03 Jun 2016 09:40:18 +0000 cascademom 2561218@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Honestly, I would go. It's hours away and you're the MOH. A solo weekend with a sick kid is tough, but not impossible. DH went away to a bachelor party one weekend when our LO #1 was about 18-20 months old I think. LO #1 was cuddly and not himself that weekend. I was up at my parents, so we went to immediate care and found out that he had his first ear infection. It was a really tough weekend, but I got through it. Your DH can do the same. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-go-to-a-bachelorette-party-if-your-baby-is-sick/page/2#post-2561209 Fri, 03 Jun 2016 09:26:58 +0000 lawbee11 2561209@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, I would go. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-go-to-a-bachelorette-party-if-your-baby-is-sick/page/2#post-2561207 Fri, 03 Jun 2016 09:24:06 +0000 babynumber1 2561207@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@simplyfelicity: You are the MOH, I think that you have to go. The baby will be home with DH, so your LO will be taken care of. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-go-to-a-bachelorette-party-if-your-baby-is-sick/page/2#post-2561197 Fri, 03 Jun 2016 09:13:24 +0000 LuLu Mom 2561197@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@simplyfelicity: If daddy is saying he can handle it I would go, I would hate to disappoint my friend being MOH and as long as his condition doesn't worsen I would let my husband handle it so I could support my friend. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-go-to-a-bachelorette-party-if-your-baby-is-sick/page/2#post-2561192 Fri, 03 Jun 2016 09:09:18 +0000 simplyfelicity 2561192@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Pollywog: Yeah, we thought about that but DH just got laid off (today is actually his last day at work. ) Now I am just hoping I don't get sick. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-go-to-a-bachelorette-party-if-your-baby-is-sick#post-2561191 Fri, 03 Jun 2016 09:09:06 +0000 kes18 2561191@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If he is 11 months and there are no serious concerns (like dehydration or something that would end up in the ER) then I would go. Babies and toddlers get sick a lot. Mine is sick every 2-3 weeks so I wouldn't skip something for a normal bug. Especially since you are the MOH. </p> <p>FWIW, I don't know how great the antibodies thing works anyway. I BF mine until 26months and the only time I could tell antibodies helped her were when I had the stomach flu FIRST (threw up 3 days straight) and she only threw up twice after I had started improving and then was good. I know they say you give them all these antibodies but I don't think it stopped my LO from getting any illnesses except the one time I had the illness first. If I get the illness after her, I'm not making tons of antibodies until after she is already recovering. I think it's most important/beneficial for newborns whose immune system isn't developed yet and cannot create a response. Just my experience though! I wouldn't feel guilty about leaving for that reason. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-go-to-a-bachelorette-party-if-your-baby-is-sick#post-2561190 Fri, 03 Jun 2016 09:05:20 +0000 Pollywog 2561190@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@simplyfelicity: What we would do is all drive to the party together and get a hotel nearby. I'd go to the party, but barely drink. I'd nurse before dinner and when I got home and if LO got worse, I'd head back to the hotel. It's an expensive solution, but that's what we'd do. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-go-to-a-bachelorette-party-if-your-baby-is-sick#post-2561179 Fri, 03 Jun 2016 08:50:43 +0000 Mamaof2 2561179@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At 11 months I would go - DH is capable of taking care of him and you are the MOH </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-go-to-a-bachelorette-party-if-your-baby-is-sick#post-2561178 Fri, 03 Jun 2016 08:50:42 +0000 Littlebit7 2561178@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@simplyfelicity: I'd say go for it. Worst case if LO gets worse, and DH gets freaked out, you can go home. Best case, you get a weekend away (probably checking his texts the whole weekend but thats OK) and DH will feel totally accomplished for getting LO through a sick weekend. Those are all huge parent WINS all the way around (especially if he's not home a lot)? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-go-to-a-bachelorette-party-if-your-baby-is-sick#post-2561177 Fri, 03 Jun 2016 08:49:26 +0000 simplyfelicity 2561177@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Chillybear: I am not sure, this is all new to us because it's the first time DS has been sick with more than a cold. DH would probably skip for a friend but not as best man. Since I am bfing, I feel like it's not the same thing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-go-to-a-bachelorette-party-if-your-baby-is-sick#post-2561172 Fri, 03 Jun 2016 08:46:15 +0000 simplyfelicity 2561172@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Pollywog: @Silva: @FaithFertility: @Corduroy: I'm still nursing but my supply has been total crap, so we are supplementing with cow's milk. The plan was for DH to feed him from the freezer stash but I know my body is making antibodies to suit him right now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-go-to-a-bachelorette-party-if-your-baby-is-sick#post-2561149 Fri, 03 Jun 2016 08:17:32 +0000 Pollywog 2561149@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Is he ebf? Does he like bottles? If he's bottle fed and your husband feels like he's got it under control, I'd go. If I was worried about him eating, I wouldn't. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-go-to-a-bachelorette-party-if-your-baby-is-sick#post-2561147 Fri, 03 Jun 2016 08:16:32 +0000 caterw 2561147@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I voted no- but that would be my personal preference. You would know if your child would "need" mommy rather than daddy (mine has a strong mommy preference and it only gets stronger when she isn't feeling well). If your child would be ok with daddy, then go! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-go-to-a-bachelorette-party-if-your-baby-is-sick#post-2561137 Fri, 03 Jun 2016 08:03:59 +0000 snowjewelz 2561137@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If your DH thinks you should go and that he can handle it, you should go, since you're the MOH. I would feel so horrible going too, don't get me wrong! I'm assuming you can take him to the doctor today, and then DH will just have to manage? I'd maybe try to help him set stuff up as much as possible... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-go-to-a-bachelorette-party-if-your-baby-is-sick#post-2561132 Fri, 03 Jun 2016 08:00:07 +0000 Chillybear 2561132@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Flip the script, If it was DH and he was best man would you tell him to go? or would you want him to stay home? Although i know the circumstances aren't ideal, it sounds like your husband's got this and will be fine. Just make sure the house is stocked with pedialite and BRAT foods. Maybe touch base with your ped, or make sure hubs has the info/ins cards for the dr. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-go-to-a-bachelorette-party-if-your-baby-is-sick#post-2561129 Fri, 03 Jun 2016 07:56:40 +0000 Happygal 2561129@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That's awesome that your DH feels he can handle it! I can't give a yes or no answer to this b/c I think it really depends on the child and parents. My daughter would have wanted me. But if the throwing up has stopped, she would have likely been lethargic enough to be fine with hanging out with DH. I'm no help! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-go-to-a-bachelorette-party-if-your-baby-is-sick#post-2561123 Fri, 03 Jun 2016 07:48:00 +0000 Mrs. Sunshine 2561123@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Like you, I would be hesitant, but if my DH encouraged me to go, I would. Your little guy will be just fine with your DH and there's likely not much to be done for him other than let it run its course anyway. It's hard and you'll be nervous but I think you should go! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-go-to-a-bachelorette-party-if-your-baby-is-sick#post-2561115 Fri, 03 Jun 2016 07:34:52 +0000 yellowbird 2561115@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would go. Especially as MOH. Daddy's were made for taking care of sick kids too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-go-to-a-bachelorette-party-if-your-baby-is-sick#post-2561113 Fri, 03 Jun 2016 07:31:33 +0000 Alivoo01 2561113@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm with PP in that it depends on how your LO is with daddy. If fine, I say go and let daddy take care of the baby. I know you'll be worried, but as the MOH, go! And trust in your hubby. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-go-to-a-bachelorette-party-if-your-baby-is-sick#post-2561106 Fri, 03 Jun 2016 07:09:11 +0000 Silva 2561106@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Lion: same- if dad can be home, I'd go. At 11 months we were still nursing a bit, so that would be a little tough and I might try to go to the party later than planned. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-go-to-a-bachelorette-party-if-your-baby-is-sick#post-2561104 Fri, 03 Jun 2016 07:03:25 +0000 nana87 2561104@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would go but feel terrible. Dh had been out of town when lo had been sick, and I was grumpy about it but also understood. So, partly I'd feel like it was my turn off if this was me, but also as moh I feel like you have to go if you can. Also 3 hours isn't that long so you can always go back early if you need </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-go-to-a-bachelorette-party-if-your-baby-is-sick#post-2561091 Fri, 03 Jun 2016 06:43:05 +0000 BananaPancakes 2561091@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If your DH says he's good and he wants you to go, I'd go. Especially since you're MOH. Him pushing you might mean he'd like the chance to handle it by himself. Since I'm primary caretaker, my husband really enjoys that kind of time alone with our son. I think he feels accomplished and confident if he's the one handling the problem since he doesn't get to be that main caretaker most days. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-go-to-a-bachelorette-party-if-your-baby-is-sick#post-2561088 Fri, 03 Jun 2016 06:27:05 +0000 regberadaisy 2561088@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes because you're MOH. If you had more than one I would say no because a sick kid and taking care of another is a lot.</p> <p>Go, have fun! Daddy can handle sick babies too. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-go-to-a-bachelorette-party-if-your-baby-is-sick#post-2561086 Fri, 03 Jun 2016 06:23:30 +0000 FaithFertility 2561086@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@simplyfelicity: ugh so hard! I would say of he doesn't nurse at all anymore, is happy with DH doing bedtime and such and you feel somewhat OK, since you are MOH i'd go, won't be easy........<br /> If it was just a girls night I'd say skip it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-go-to-a-bachelorette-party-if-your-baby-is-sick#post-2561084 Fri, 03 Jun 2016 06:18:03 +0000 Mrs. Lion 2561084@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wouldnt leave with grandma or a babysitter, but i would leave him with daddy &lt;3 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-go-to-a-bachelorette-party-if-your-baby-is-sick#post-2561082 Fri, 03 Jun 2016 06:16:15 +0000 Ajsmommy 2561082@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wouldn't go but I don't see anything wrong if you did. I'd try to wait until the absolute last minute though and if DD was showing signs of improvement then I'd go. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-go-to-a-bachelorette-party-if-your-baby-is-sick#post-2561081 Fri, 03 Jun 2016 06:11:14 +0000 Alba4 2561081@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Since puking is the absolute worst, I would most likely not leave DH with a sick kid. Would you be away the entire weekend? Or just a night? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-go-to-a-bachelorette-party-if-your-baby-is-sick#post-2561071 Fri, 03 Jun 2016 05:03:40 +0000 travelgirl1 2561071@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would stay home with baby. But mine both had very severe mummy preferences and I would want to nurse them if they were throwing up.<br /> I would follow your mummy gut on this one. If you feel okay going (sounds like your DH can totally manage) then absolutely go. If you would be miserable stay home. Hugs, it's a hard one :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-go-to-a-bachelorette-party-if-your-baby-is-sick#post-2561069 Fri, 03 Jun 2016 04:56:43 +0000 LilSprinkles 2561069@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If it was me, I'd go. My husband is very capable of taking care of DS sick or not sick. </p>
