To send baby to nursery with cold

[Bathbubbles]

I'm back at work and my 8 month old goes to nursery once a week. When he came home last Thurs he had a terrible night was coughing boiling temp snooting sneezing etc. He's still not quite right but better. He still needs calpol 2-3 times a day as he still has 3-4 coughing episodes a day, snotty nose and general aches and is not himself wanting cuddles teary etc. AIBU to send him to nursery or should I take carers leave from work? I feel like he probably needs to be at home but when I've read up it says you only need to keep them off if they have a temp. I a) don't want the nursery to frown at me for sending a snotty coughy baby to nursery and b) don't want my work to think I'm taking the mick it's just a cold send him to nursery you don't need the day off.
Any thoughts please? First time mum wwyd

If OP’s son is 9 months and he has only just started nursery, the likelihood is that she has been on maternity leave since before this all started, and hasn’t really kept up with swabbing requirements/isolation.

Yes, she needs to isolate and swab her child, but the outrage and calls for her to lose her Pin because she isn’t up to speed on this yet are way over the line.

I'm on maternity leave and I still know what the rules are. I'm not even a HCP too...

Is this some sort of joke?

Your child has been in contact with a possible covid positive person in his other childcare setting

He is now unwell and tour asking if he should go to nursery???

I’m guessing Op sent baby in!

So DC has a temperature and a cough and you are wondering if to send DC into nursery?? And you work in healthcare? 🤦🏼‍♀️
Why are you even asking the question? It doesn’t matter what you think DC has, dc needs to self isolate until you get a negative result! (The nursery shouldn’t be accepting DC either).

My ds started coughing over the weekend and been miserable. He's due in tomorrow, and Dd was to be at school today. We have isolated since the cough began, had him tested abs both DC are off school/nursery until we have a negative result. I don't even think it is covid, he has had no temp and the cough is mild - but why the hell would you risk it?! Surely it's common sense??

Ha good one...we'd send him straight home again for 14 days if he arrived at our nursery.

Havent RTFT. In ky opinion it depends how he is in himself. A bit grouchy but otherwise ok - eating and sleeping ok and fine in himself I'd send him in. Needing picked up or held all the time, not eating, crying more than normal etc then I'd keep him home, not because nursery would mind but because it's not the right thing for him to be in nursery

Sounds like you haven’t even read the OP. The baby had a fever and a cough. We are in the middle of a pandemic. Of course he can’t go in to nursery.
