Don't ignore common cold symptoms!

M • 💙 Our blessing arrived 08/18/2017 💙 Baby boy #2 arrived 11/14/2019!

Our 25 day old was just diagnosed with RSV. I went back and forth on whether I should take him to the doctor since his rectal temperature was under 100.4. I took him today because I am paranoid when they are this small. Sure enough, he is positive. The doctor said symptoms should peak starting tomorrow. Super scared even though I know most babies pull out just fine ☹️ I know someone who had two babies die of RSV so it hits close.

We haven't gone out anywhere. My oldest son came home coughing from daycare last week and was better in a few days, and I've had symptoms since Thursday and have been trying to avoid spreading anything to the baby. I just thought I had a sinus infection.
