I'm sick - how do I keep the kids safe?

I'm still playing "single mother" till DH gets home from deployment and now I'm sick.  I wash my hands a zillion times a day, use the anti-bactieral thing, and cough into a kleenex when available, but what else can I do?  I really don't want the kids to get sick!

I got masks from the drug store and wore them when I was sick when the girls got home from the NICU.

I just got over a cold, yesterday was the first day that I felt better, and so far the boys are still healthy. I washed my hands and used anti bacterial gel EVERY time before I touched them.  I also changed my shirt several times a day if I was coughing a lot or blowing my nose, and they were exclusively BF so I think that helps too.  Again, it is still too early for me to tell but so far they are okay.

Good luck, and I hope your little ones stay healthy, the face masks sound like a good idea.
