Diana This is a very common practice now with all children in the nicu. While Jaedin was is in there the 1st time for the 1st 6 months of his life that was the first thing I had to do to my daughter after she finally got out of the hospital was take her acrylics off. We had to keep our nails short and scrub under our fingernails and scrub up to the elbows. The unit at Children's Hospital of Boston was a very severe unit. And even after JJ tumor was removed he was in isolation an that was even more strict. So the precautions that they are taking are for the baby sake to keep her healthy. Because so much bad stuff is brought in under our nails. Have her follow them and then some.

My niece had her baby in the nic u and she was told not wear anything on her hands.

The baby was born March 31st and she wasn't due until late June. The little thing comes home from the hospital on Monday, her muscles are now working so she can suck and swallow and digest. Anyway the nic unit told mom to remove acrylics, she cannot have polish, zero zilch for awhile. Why? Because the baby has not grown enough skin to prevent contact dermatitis, and other skin diseases and the advice is to take all precautions. I have never heard of this, have any of you? diana from indiana --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "NailTech" group.
