If you have toddler(s) & a preemie newborn

DinnerTime

We haven't been out since my singleton preemie came home from the NICU due to RSV season.  We were invited to a birthday party and was thinking of taking the twins and leaving the baby at home.  Just wondering what you would do - take the tots and get them out of the house for a bit or just suck it up and stay at home for another month?  My girl is has gotten the synagis shot if that makes any difference.  Thanks!

If you have someone trustworthy to watch DD, then I would leave her at home and take the boys.  They probably need a little break from their sister and would love to spend time with JUST mommy.

Definitely, without a doubt, go to the party with the toddlers.  Wash their hands when they come home and enjoy your day out with your kids!!  When Keira came home DH and I did a lot of juggling Claire to make sure she was still getting out of the house and also getting alone time with either her mommy or daddy.  I think it was really good for her!

I would take the tots out.

I have a singleton 2 year old and preemie twins at home.  We try to get my son out every day, even if it is just for a little bit.  i dont' want him to be too cooped up in the house.  Either my husband, my nanny, or myself will take him to an indoor playground, run errands, go out for a play date, etc.  No need for him to suffer too.

I would definitely take the toddlers out.  Be very vigilant about handwashing while you're out and when you get home.

Have a good time.

I'd go with this plan.  You can't stay cooped up in the house all the time!

My problem has been my tot gets sick and he gets the premie twins sick.  B/c of that I've learned limiting Harm's exposure is the most important thing!  I would suck it up and keep everyone inside.
