Illness

I have an almost 9 week old baby. Currently living with my partner and my parents. My partner and my mum are both so unwell with this horrid cold/flu that’s been going around. It just seemed like a slight cold that my baby had 2 weeks ago, but they’ve slowly got worse.. currently sat in bed next to my partner who’s got a temp and I’ve had to give paracetamol and wish I could just go and hide with my little man so we don’t get sick. Neither of them have really had any contact with him but I just feel like I can’t keep him safe :( I know babies get poorly but it’s just scary and he’s due his jabs Monday

They won't give the little man his jabs if he's showing any signs of unwell. I'd mention that someone in the house had been sick, just in case (they may want you to reschedule). 💜

Just feel like I should have done more to protect from it x

Honestly try not to feel bad. My daughter is 3 and we’ve just been hit with it. Poor little love had the worst temp and kept vomiting. Thankfully with all the vomiting I think it helped get it out of her system because she’s doing much better now and now I’m the one feeling terrible 🤦‍♀️

He’s just 9 weeks though bless him and has so much coming up, he’s got his jabs Monday if he doesn’t get sick, two big scans needing catheters and cannulas for an ongoing problem with his kidney and then his 12 week jabs in between.. just gonna be a tough month i in April I think hence my anxiety!
