Has anyone’s baby gotten sick yet? 💔😭

My husband has been saying he didn’t feel well but we are in the middle of moving. I thought he had a man cold and was being lazy, so I asked him to just watch the baby while I packed. Last night my little man started really crying randomly while hubby was holding him. I went to him and he had a fever, was breathing more rapid than usual, watery eyes, very sleepy. I took him to urgent care this morning and he has Covid! 😭💔 (I guess my husband really did have more than a man cold… lmao) My heart is broken that he feels so crappy. For some reason I had it in my head that breastfed babies don’t get sick (don’t come at me, I had never been around a baby until I gave birth to one lol) How did you mamas help your LOs get relief when they were ill? I’m trying to hold him as much as possible, I’ve given him Tylenol, and I’ve been using a cold compress on him whenever he feels too warm. I hate that my baby is miserable, I hate that I had to hold him down for 3 nasal swabs. I literally had to pretend that he wasn’t my baby in order to help the nurse keep him still 💔

Contact naps, Tylenol, Frida nose sucker, boogie brand nasal saline mist. My son has had a fever twice. It’s so hard. Just masks sure they are hydrated as have wet/dirty diapers.. ❤️ I understand.. I’ve had friends that kiddos had covid and they recover quicker than adults.. So hopefully he will feel better soon!!

My little guy has already been sick a few times, but he also has an older brother. My first was sick with Covid after just three months and very similar reaction but he got better real quick like less than 48 hours he was perfectly fine

At 2 mo had a cold (which he have to me and I had it for a month). At 5 mo had COVID. I was pretty much holding him all the time because that's most comforting for him . Infant Tylenol for temperature. Keep an eye out that he's still wetting diapers to make sure he's hydrated. Breastmilk is a great medicine.

My baby has had RSV when he was 2months and then we just finally got over it again last week. Just extra cuddles, breastfed and watched his breathing and fever. Nothing more I could do. My baby screamed bloody murder when I would saline his nose and then suck out the snot. I felt so bad😩 luckily we are over it now and he’s back to sleeping in his crib at night and not on my chest in the chair🫠

My 6.5 month old had hands foot mouth disease. Then a month later got RSV and was hospitalized.

My baby had fevers last week for the first time then she broke out in a crazy rash I panicking that it was meaeals or chicken pox … it apparently is called a fever rash just baby’s way of fighting the virus. My older two never had such a thing!! She’s better this week but stuffy and the congestion keeps waking her up so it’s been a lot of contact sleeping for us!
