Strep Throat in babies

As

Ashley

I had a sore throat on Wednesday. Thursday morning it was way worse and I went into the doctors. They did a throat swab and I have strep throat. I have a 4 month old baby. I’m just wondering if anyone’s had a baby that has gotten strep throat, and what the early signs are. And how likely is it that strep would pass to the baby?

Strep throat in babies is totally different. You could infect other people unless you’re on antibiotics. If you breast feed, I wouldn’t be worried at all; your baby isn’t very likely to get it. If you formula feed, they’re more likely to get it

My partner had strep when my daughter was around 10 months old. We took her to the dr bc we were worried that she’d gotten strep. The dr aid it’s actually really rare for babies under 2 to get strep throat.
