How to keep baby safe?

Question

Hey mamas!! I’ve come down with what I assume is a common cold. (Stuffy nose, cough, etc) I’m a single mama to my 9 month old. Any advice how I can continue to care for him, all while not giving him this nasty cold? I know it might be not be preventable, but I am willing to try! He is not breast fed if that matters. And if hd does happen to catch it, does that mean it will be RSV for him?

Answer

He’s already been exposed, I wouldn’t fuss over it.

Answer

Wash your hands. Wear a mask. But a lot of viruses spread before symptoms even show so he’s probably already been exposed. And RSV is a specific virus—if you have RSV then yeah it’s RSV, if you have a different virus then it’s not RSV.

Answer

If you’re breastfeeding, continue breastfeeding as much as possible to pass along immunities. Maybe you want to mask but I think breastfeeding helps the most. Then general precautions like hand washing.
