I think it's pretty common around here now too. Infants Tylenol & other fever reducers are not rec'd last I heard, for the under 6 weeks crowd. I can see why new moms would want to avoid an illness in a little one.
(This year the Flu shot is not covering one of the strains around here and advice is a fluid thing from one doc to the next.) Many of the retirement homes are being very strict on visitors and screening; they did news stories on the 3 main channels about the elderly and very young.
My sister has kids ranging from 17 down to 3 months and she is surprised that so much changes in the "common practices & rec's that become the norm." Things like back to sleep, side-sleep, early solids, late solids etc, are considered a bit dangerous/crazy today.
Times change, and I've learned not to give new moms old advice...even if my kids grew up pretty good :001_smile:; they just want what's best for their babies...and they're tired.
