A close family friend was over the other day and she said she "didn't think babies could get sick for like 6 months". WTH!!
She isn't germy or anything but I wish she'd take more caution.. like washing hands, and she is the one that shares food with my DD (like off her spoon or taking a bite of pizza and then offering it to DD).
People just never cease to amaze me.. I mean I know BFing helps with immunity but it doesn't make babies invincible.
So on this topic.. what has your pedi said about germs and your infant? Like to be super careful for a particular amount of time? Not to expose them at all for x amount of time?
Re: Germs gripe and question
I'm super laid back about this stuff.. Eve has only been REALLY sick once, and she got it from me.. and whatever it was was super contagious because all my coworkers got it and then my mom got it from changing Eve's diaper. She had a little bit of a cold too. but nothing serious.
