15 week old baby - will he be ok if he catches my cold?

I can feel myself coming down with a cold - horrible scratchy feeling In my throat etc. I have a 15 week old baby, will he be ok if I pass it on to him? I'm not sure how I can avoid infecting him when I'm caring for him all day every day, although I'm hoping he somehow avoids it

Thanks

Yes I'm sure he will be fine, he's old enough for Calpol, look at the calpol plug ins too. At that age my DS2 caught covid and was the most well out of me, DH and DS1!

Yes he will be fine and he might not catch it. Have some Calpol in, some saline nasal spray and one of those horrible suction bulbs for his nose and if he gets a cough at night humidifiers are very good at getting everyone more sleep.

He will be totally
Fine.

DS1 brought home; croup the first week DS2 was born

HFM at 3 weeks

Cold/virus flu thing 3 weeks

HFM ahain 12 weeks

And I'm pretty sure we had Covid at some point too.

DS2 caught non of it 🤷‍♀️
