Looking for advice - please no nasty comments, first time mum here!!
My baby is 12 weeks old and has today come out with a bit of a cough and a slightly snotty nose. She doesn’t have a temperature or a fever and generally seems fine in herself, perhaps a little bit fussy (usually very chill) and sleeping a bit more. She was also a bit more restless than usual overnight, waking twice when she usually only wakes once.
We usually go swimming on a Tuesday and due to meet friends with babies of a similar age on Wednesday, I mentioned to a friend that I didn’t think it was a good idea to take her swimming or meet the friends and my friend said I was being OTT and there is no reason why she can’t do those things as she doesn’t have a fever, just a bit snuffly. She also has her 12wk vaccinations tomorrow which I called the GP and they said as longs as no fever then fine for her to have.
Am I being OTT / over cautious or would you not be taking your 12 weeks old, snuffly baby swimming and to meet friends when she could make other babies sick? It’s been playing on my mind that I don’t want to wrap her in cotton wool but also don’t want to be making her any worse! Also not sure what the etiquette is with regards to these things, any words of wisdom appreciated!
