My other half’s mum and step mum both came round at the weekend, one had a cough and the other had a runny nose. Neither told me until they were here and had already held my little girl!! My little one today is now coughing and a blocked nose… her first cold and she’s nearly 5 months.
We’ve done so well this far getting through winter and I’m just so furious they came round for their own selfish reasons to see bubs without thinking of the consequences 😔
My other half is so nonchalant about it and I understand she’s gonna get colds eventually, but it’s one thing catching it by accident and then literally putting her in harms way.
Now I have a poorly bubba thanks to them being so inconsiderate.
I’m so anxious with her being unwell and the night looming ahead, I’m scared to put her to bed but am just keeping her topped up on calpol.
I just wanted to vent 😩 Any advice or support to know I’m not being silly at being so angry about this😔

You're not being silly, it feels like disrespect for them to not tell you in advance and not consider even just that they might cause you some sleepless nights etc. She will be ok though. My baby has had almost a constant cold from having an older brother at nursery whilst he wasn't ill until he was almost a year old 😂

Exact same thing happened to mine at 4 weeks. You’re not being silly at all it’s really frustrating
