Anyone had a sickness bug around their baby???

Has anyone had a sickness bug around their baby? Have they then caught it? What did you do if anything please? I fell poorly last night and I’m really stressing today - my little one is 15 weeks but has been away from me all day except feeding where I have washed my hands and wore a mask.

My first had gastroenteritis at about 5 months old. Lots of projectile vomit and yucky nappies. It wasn't nice and was stressful making sure he wasn't dehydrated but was over the worst within 48 hours.
My best friend had a bug when her son was like a month old. Nobody to help so was with her the whole time and he was fine!
Guessing you are BF? In which case you are already passing on those antibodies. Fingers crossed little one is fine xx

didn’t do anything different if i was ill and babys were all fine, it and plus it’s good for them to strengthen there immune systems as there body learns to fight it off, as long as your kids are vaccinated there fine

I had a 24/48hr sickness bug when my little one was 11 weeks. Knocked me for 6. Me and my partner had it but little one didn’t. He is BF tho so I think immunity would have come through my body creating by antibodies and it being in my milk .

Are you breastfeeding? You’ll create your own antibodies to pass through the breastmilk so fingers crossed everything will be okay🤞🏼
