Caring for baby while sick

Im developing a nasty cold with a cough. Im sooo scared of getting LO sick

DH works full time so I obviously have to be around her and touch her. I am using purrell like crazy, but Im wondering if anyone else has dealt with this and if their littles got sick?

Are you BF? My babies have always managed to avoid my colds while BF b/c they are getting those antibodies. Good luck! Hope you feel better soon!

Don't stress. The other thing I learned is that LOs this age also don't develop illnesses like we do b/c their adenoids are still so small and undeveloped. That's why they typically say that newborns "can't" catch strep throat. Just take care of yourself and don't stress about it!
