Newborn is sick

So my 7 week old is sick I think but he doesn't seem fazed by the cough or runny nose that he has. I have Meade him a emergency doctors appointment for today. I have been mom shaming myself for going back to work and possibly bringing him this sickness because dad works from home so he doesn't go out very much just me. And I just feel bad.

My son got a cold probably brought home by his siblings but he was in phased he was congested but he didn't even care we just made sure he was well hydrated and kept an eye out for a fever and sucked out his nose which he didn't mind... Frida baby is the way to go anyhow within a week he was fine. Don't shame yourself they have to build their immune system it's normal for them to get sick.

I just gave mine hyland’s naturals cold and mucus (I think that’s the name) syrup and it cleared up quickly, but breast milk helps a lot too.

Must be going around. My baby has a cold too. Don't mom shame yourself! My son is in daycare. I'm 100% positive he got it from there lol but we have to live our lives. Colds in babies are common. I hope baby gets well soon
