Newborn help!

Not looking for medical advice but rather someone to ease my mind or give their experience if this is happened to them. Obviously it’s 3am and I am awake and overthinking. Delete is not allowed.

New baby is 5 days old! We came home from hospital Wednesday and as of Friday afternoon, while house (except Dad and newborn) have gotten cold like symptoms (including me).

I am PARANOID about my newborn catching this! What can I do to help him not get this? What should I look for if he does catch it? My mind is on overdrive and my stomach is upset thinking about him getting this and only being 5 days old.

😩😩

Also, remind me how much a newborn his age should sleep? I feel like he is sleeping A LOT.

Seems to still be eating okay (about 2-2.5 oz of formula).
