Tested positive

Over the past 5 days me and my 4 children have tested positive for the first time, one of those children being a 3 month old baby. Do I wake the baby for feeds?

What about their toys how do I clean them? Or is that not needed, just don't want them to re infect themselves.
Clean their bedding?

I may sound ott but I'm anxious over catching it again

Thanks

My kids are older but... keep feeding the baby on whatever schedule they have been on. They might not want to eat as much but keep trying. And if you think baby is not well seek help. Baby's can get sick quickly

We didn't bother cleaning anything as we all had it but as I say kids are older. Baby's stuff I guess gets cleaned anyway so I'd carry on with that.

Hopefully you all stay well and get through it quickly.

I wouldn't bother with extra cleaning if you all have it. They won't be reinfecting themselves.

My children are aged 7, 5 and 3 so quite young it may sound silly but I just want this infection out of the house! I did start cleaning TV remotes, tablets and handles but just realised they are still playing with most toys 😬
Baby only had 3 bottles yesterday and she slept 7pm right through to 5.30am which is very unlike her she is usually up 3/4 times a night so she really hasn't had much at all

I did keep trying yesterday but she would just cry. Today she's had 1 bottle, I may try offer her just a few ml of water but she's not got a temperature and everything else about her seems okay so far

Thank you very much both of you for responding xx

No need to clean things any more than usual, the can't reinfect themselves.

Transmission through touch / contact has pretty much been disproven so I'd save yourself the cleaning, especially if you're feeling under the weather.

Or maybe I'm just lazy.
