Back again already!

5 day old baby and DH has developed a cold. What do I do? Can he even be near our LO?

Are you breastfeeding?

We all started getting colds when baby was about 2 weeks old (also got a germy toddler)

We just try to exercise good hand hygiene and try to prevent saliva transference in the way of kissing etc.

Reason I ask about bf because if you are baby will tell your breasts if they are unwell and your body will provide antibodies through the milk.

Fingers crossed despite us all feeling rubbish baby hasnt caught it.
