Has anyone’s young babies ever had Covid, if so what did your babies timeline if symptoms look like day by day?

At first, he started with a small cough, no fever, slept more often through the day, as the days have gone on he’s got a worse cough, very phlegmy sounding and constant coughing. We’re on day 4, yesterday he started struggling with bottles, drinking a few oz less and had 3 runny poos. Today, he has really struggled to drink, he’s probably had 20oz tops and he’s a big baby for his age atleast 15 pound I’d say. We’ve been giving baby ibuprofen/calpol when we think he needs it. Is it normal for them to go off milk? He is formula fed, I’ve tried small bits of water to make sure he isn’t dehydrated. When he is awake he seems to be happy and chatty and still smiling. It’s just the slowly decreasing bottles that is worrying me

He slept for 12 hours last night and had few short naps today. He’s eaten abit more but it isn’t as much as he had been having but I’m starting to think he’s just going through a fussy stage with his bottles, had no pain killers today just sounds abit mucousy and coughing a lot! I just want him to take his bottle properly!

Sounds like he's getting a bit better though? Wink

@CadyEastman

he sounds abit wheezy breathing today but goes quiet when he’s sleeping so I’ve no idea whether he’s okay or not, he’s still no temperature. I’ve given some ibuprofen if his air ways are inflamed and I’ll keep an eye on him, he’s taking 6oz of milk it seems. Had him in steamy bathroom and given him a bath and keeping his calpol plug in on. I’ll keep my eye on the breathing though that’s the only thing that’s abit odd and obviously still coughing
