My 11 month old mindee was off it yesterday, wouldn't eat and when he got home his mum said he had a runny bottom.

Anyway he did not sleep last night (he is teething) but he came to me this morning. I have walked and walked with him to settle him but he is still really unselttled.

Dad has just come to pick him up and he gave him a big smile. It's the first time I have had to send anyone home, have I dont the correct thing?

Thanks

I had this yesterday with a 2 year old, and in 18 months of minding it was my first send home. They still brought LO today :(

As he had an upset tummy, I would exclude for 48 hours anyway.

I am really strict about this as I hate tummy bugs and wouldnt want myself, my family for my other mindees to catch it.
