For my friend to send her D/V dd to pre school tomorrow

[pigletmania]

My friend rang me and told me that her dd has been sick a few times today, and that she has now stopped. My friend took her dd to the doctor who said it was ok for her dd to go back to preschool tomorrow if she has stopped providing its been 24 since she last been sick.

I disagreed with her saying that it should be 3 days since she last stopped being sick, I used to work in a day centre at it used to be 3 days since they stopped being sick not 24 hours. My dd has a birthday party on Saturday and I would hate her and her friends not to come because this mum sent her child to nursery when she should not have done.

Aam I right!

Generally it is 24 hours.

It's 48 hours at my daughters nursery.

Surely her pre school has a policy on this?

Our preschool is 48hours which I thought was normal.

YABU not to know how to word an AIBU title.

At my school it is also 24 hours after they have stopped being sick

48hours here too

My ds's playgroup is 48 hours too.
He is off with his third bout of d n v since last december. Other parents seem to send them in anyway and ds get sick over and over again

48 hrs here too.

how can you be unreasonable for your friend doing something

anyway it sounds like you are more concerned about your DD missing a party.

3 days is ridiculous. 24-48 hours is the norm. the gp said 24 so i would be happy to take their advice. unless you consider you opinion on medical matters more accurate than a GP's?

Sorry meant is it U for my friend to send her dd into pre school tomorrow. Yes at the pre school its 48 hours, but she says the GP has said she can go after 24 of stopping being sick.

Should be 48 hours. I am a nurse and take full advantage of the 48 hour policy when I pick up a nice bit of d and V from a patient

48 hours exclusion - your friend is BU

24 to 48 hours from the last bout of d/v, depending on the policy at the school, nursery ect. Ds1's pre school was 48 hrs, his school is 24 hrs.

Sounds like this season's D&V virus. Both my kids started vomiting, were sick a number of times. Next day no sick and no diarrhoea. BUT then the diarrhoea starts and doesn't stop for a few days.

If the preschool has a 48 hour exclusion policy, she should stick to it. What the doctor said is irrelevant as (s)he is nothing to do with the preschool. Preschool will probably send her home as she will probably have diarrhoea in the coming days. Not before she's passed it on to other children though .

HPA exclusion guidelines = 48 hours from last period of D and/or V

I don't believe that your friend took her DD to GP

48 hours in all the nurseries, pre-schools and schools that I am acquainted with.

I agree with baldy and I doubt that your friend took her dd to the GP.

But even if she did, the dd has "been sick a few times today". Well, unless all those episodes of vomiting were before 9am, or whenever pre-school starts, then she wouldn't even be adhering to the so-called 24 hour rule by sending her in tomorrow morning either!!!

Send her a text saying the school's rule is 48 hours, no matter what her GP says.

health protection agency rules

Oh good so I am right, I did tell her, I told her to telephone the school to ask them too.

This happened to dd when she was a baby, was invited to a friends babys party, they had d/v and did not let us know, they said it stopped 2 days ago when we arrived at the party. Few days later dd develped d/v that is why I am very wary of it.

how are you right? you told her it was 3 days. 3 days is 72 hours not 48.

Our school is 24 for V and 48 for D.

You don't actually mention D in your op so it is possible she is right.

Sorry if I'm being dense, but if the child has been sick a few times today, how is it possible for there to be 24 hours between last bout of sickness and commencement of preschool tomorrow?

Ds1 just had this and it's definitely 48hrs at his nursery.

Your friend is BU.

good point low reg. no mention of diarhoea. 24 hours could be right.
