Btdt moms - 1 baby sick, daycare

My sweet N has a temp and a cold. Do I keep her home and send M to DC or keep them both home? And if I send M, how do I manage pumping and nursing at the same time?

Re: Btdt moms - 1 baby sick, daycare

  • I always send the well child to daycare if possible (unless he's clearly coming down with the same thing). That way I can focus on the sick child at home, as well as keep the well child away from his germs (a losing battle with twins, but it's what I tell myself). As for pumping and nursing, you could pump one breast while nursing the baby at home, or pump between feedings if you don't want to do both simultaneously.

    Hope your little one is feeling better soon!
