How long until visit?

My older son has a cold and I have baby in the NICU. Today I kept older son home from DC to try to nurse this cold better. When should I go back to see my NICU baby? I feel terrible for not being there with him (I've been there everyday until today). But I don't want him to catch whatever his brother has. Thanks.

When my DD was in the NICU, there was another mom that I over heard the nurses talking on the phone. Her kids at home had colds and she thought she was coming down with something too. The nurse advised the mom not to come to the NICU until all of her and the kids symptoms subsided and stayed gone for at least a day after.

My heart breaks for you

as pp said, I would call your NICU and ask them what their policy is.  I hope your LO feels better soon and you are able to visit the NICU soon!

How are you feeling? I say play it by ear and see. It really sucks being sick. I actually had a sinus problem when I delivered DD, but I still went to the NICU to be with her, because their is no way I could of stayed away.

I was ok earlier and went to see him. Now it feels like I'm coming down with it. I'm starting to have a sore throat.
