Tips to keep LO healthy?

DH and I have a stomach virus. Symptoms showed up last night. I am worried to death that DS will get it. Does anyone have an recommendations? I am keeping my face away from his, only holding him when he needs to be held, washing my hands like crazy, and giving him the breast milk I am pumping today in hopes he will get the antibodies to fight this crap off. Is there anything else I should/could do?

Re: Tips to keep LO healthy?

  • That's really all you can do and what I was told to do when I was feeling sick. Disinfect areas where you and dh have touched and watch for symptoms in LO.

  • disinfect his paci often just in case. It is really hard. I tried everything in my power not to get lo sick when I was but it didn't work. babies get a cold 8-12 times a year. :(

  • Wash wash wash your hands. A lot stomach stuff is spread by the oral/fecal route (vs droplets like the flu/colds), do hand washing is the #1 way to prevent the spread. Also, sanitize your bathroom with Clorox wipes once a day or so (wipe down the toilet handle, sink handle, etc)

    This. I'm sure it's hard not to be snuggling your babe!
  • Wash any clothing or material your LO may come in contact with.....My LO is quick with her hands so I'm constantly trying to pull things away from her mouth. Feel better
