Are you taking your baby out in public during this awful flu season?

Question

Answer

We only do quick errands, but that’s maybe once a week now. Baby was in the hospital for 5 days with RSV just a few weeks ago so we’re not taking any more chances

Answer

We still take our baby out a bunch of places but don’t let my nieces and nephews hold her or touch her. Now that it’s winding down we just ask them to wash their hands as usual. I work in a hospital so I’m exposed everyday. I come home and change and wash my hands before I touch her. I had the flu in Nov and continued to breastfeed her, so I think she has some immunity to at least 1 strain going around. I was in the hospital and my husband would bring her there to breastfeed a couple times a day. Also, when we do go out we sanitize everything. Example grocery cart handle-and then we wash our hands again after touching it or any other public things (gas pumps). I’m already a frequent hand washer from Healthcare so my husband is catching up to my craziness
