Please don’t worry. I know it’s so hard not to but the more you worry, the worse it will make you feel. You are doing the right thing by protecting him - wearing a mask, washing your hands when holding him etc. there isn’t anything more you can do. Sometimes it’s better for them to catch it as it’ll help build their immune system. Hopefully because you are taking all the right steps he won’t catch anything from you and if he does end up catching anything, keep an eye on him & consult your midwife or health visitor if you are worried.

You are doing a great job xx
