Do you keep baby away from others when they have a cold?

Just curious really!
I know babies get colds quite often but just wondering whether you keep them home when they have a common cold (with no temp or fever, just a runny nose, cough etc)
I always feel as though I should keep my LO indoors when he’s like this, for his benefit of course and also to stop spreading germs to others. I have friends that still take their babies to indoor play, to the park etc. when they’re like this… And I know fresh air is good but surely it can’t be good for the other children! I don’t know if I’m just being over cautious or not!

Nope, I'd barely get out if I kept kids home with a sniffle.

I wouldn't have gone anywhere since about early October if I didn't take them out with a cold/sniffle.

Babies and toddlers get on average like a cold a month - you’d be staying at home a lot of the time. Not practical or necessary.
