Positive for covid! :(

I tested positive for covid, and my baby will be 2 months on Tuesday. I'm freaking out I did taking him to the ER this morning because I sore he sounded raspy and congested but I was just paranoid he tested negative for covid, the flu, and RSV. I use hand sanitizer before I touch him and wear a mask around him but I'm so scared I'm going to make my baby sick đŸ˜«

He’ll be fine. You’ll be surprised how strong babies immune systems are

I learned from others that babies get antibodies through your breastmilk if that's an option for you! My baby is two moths and I've been sick as a dog for three days and she's perfectly healthy. I haven't used a mask because it's just unrealistic. We have a really small house and we co sleep

I do breastfeed and pump, been doing more pumping since i got sick. Also, my mom just came over to help so I can rest so I'm super thankful for that

I would breastfeed more now that you are sick because the saliva from bub will touch you're breast and assist with creating antibodies

My husband brought it home to me and my 6 week old. My baby is actually doing way better than I am. Hes over it. I am still experiencing symptoms. We are day 5 of having covid.

We all had covid when baby was 4 weeks—creepy fever of 100.4 but otherwise pulled through just fine. Baby will get your antibodies with you’re breastfeeding đŸ‘ŒđŸ»
