To not want to take my 3 month old to visit family after vaccinations?

DD is having her second set of jabs tomorrow. We're meant to be staying with family for easter weekend, and it will involve lots of visiting of various relatives. My mother in law will just have come back from a school trip over seas. I'm worried that my DD's immune system is going to be compromised already, and that being passed around lots of different people is going to make her get sick, or that she'll have a reaction and away from home. AIBU? I'm not sure whether that's paranoid thinking or whether it makes perfect sense!

Where is your MIL going on a school trip?
If it is China mid-SARS outbreak, then yes, you should probably be worried about her bringing back germs

If it is mainland Europe, then you really, really need to calm down and be rational about this

You will be exposing your daughter to more 'germs' when you take her to the doctors waiting room...

Yes, if the real reason is that the whole idea of the weekend is too much, then don't go. That I can totally understand!

some scary lack of basic science here. 'germs' are in this country as well as abroad and I imagine your MIL washes sometimes.

other people are no danger to her.

if you don't want to go, just make excuses.
