Hello,
I am going out of my mind with worry and am hoping someone has been in a similar position and it’s not ended badly.
Yesterday a family member visited and I noticed that she was touching her mouth as she had a cold sore. I mentally thought I won’t offer her to hold my baby however when I went to make him a bottle I came back in and she was holding my son’s hands and I know she hadn’t washed her hands first. I did wash his hands after however I also know that he managed to put on of them in his mouth before I got to him.
I am going out of my mind with worry as he is only 16 weeks and I feel like I have massively failed my baby. I am waiting on a callback from the GP but I know it’s going to be a case of waiting to see if develops any symptoms but in the meantime I am petrified it is going to get to his brain. Does anyone have any reassuring stories to help stop me going crazy with worry?
