@natroberts88, was baby fine with a cold at so young? theres nothing u can give them is there... im just over paranoid emotions everywere... my sons at school all day and knows not to coff near baby so fingers crossed... xxx
Yep as @sara-Lou said - there isn't much you can do other than trying to keep things clean & make sure your other child doesn't cough onto baby (obviously not always possible) baby's also pick up colds easier as their immune system isn't strong yet. My little one was ill at about 2 weeks old as I had a cold but he was fine x
As parents we constantly worry but some things are out of our hands. As I mentioned just keep on top of hygiene etc. It's not like you can keep them apart.
Not much you can do other than making sure hands are washed regularly and try to avoid them coughing/sneezing on baby. That's the unfortunate thing once you have more than 1 child. What one gets the other is bound to as well. Max caught Morgan's cold when he was around 7weeks :-/
I had to use snufflebabe vapour rub as he was full of snot & couldn't breathe through his nose but other than that he was absolutely fine :) hopefully baby will be ok xx
