Ftm needing reassurance

laxkal23

2 days ago my husband started exhibiting flu symptoms. I had the flu vaccine, but we have a 3 week old baby who has probably been exposed to the germs. Baby hasn't shown any symptoms yet but I am in a complete panic. Any advice or reassurance to help this FTM keep it together would be greatly appreciated.

Just went to the Dr. yesterday because our LO was getting sick.  He said unless baby's temp goes above 100.4 or baby can't eat, it should pass after 5-7 days. 

 

Also, if you BF your LO is getting antibodies from you

If it makes you feel better, my dh was really sick for about 4 days with flulike symptoms when my LO was 6 weeks. She didn't even have a sneeze while he was sick. I did make him wash his hands a lot, but besides that, we didn't do anything extra. GL!

Be extra vigilant about hand washing and keep an eye on lo. That's about all you can do. As pp mentioned, if they do get it it will pass.
