Good suggestions. I did hear about the breastmilk (not nursing but I have some frozen) but I wasn't sure how much. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-successful-in-preventing-the-spread-of-infection-to-your-kids-when-you-were-sick#post-2557276 Thu, 26 May 2016 14:13:11 +0000 Truth Bombs 2557276@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The kids don't normally catch things from me when I'm sick. But they do share everything with each other. And pink eye is INSANELY contagious. We had it run through our friend group like you would not believe a few weeks ago. The worst part is that it can have a long incubation period so you can't be 100% sure you're safe until about 2 weeks after the last person stops showing symptoms. New towels and sheets for the babies every day, washed in hot hot water. Are you nursing? If so, squirt breastmilk in both their eyes, it's a natural cure/protectant from pink eye. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-successful-in-preventing-the-spread-of-infection-to-your-kids-when-you-were-sick#post-2557120 Thu, 26 May 2016 14:00:00 +0000 BSB 2557120@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah, I was diagnosed with Bronchitis on Sunday and was put on antibiotics. DD started getting pink eye on Tuesday and is now on antibiotics. Wondering when DS will get it. The chew and slobber on everything. I've been feeding them separately. </p> <p>I was using antibacterial gel and wearing masks around the baby and the DH when my coughing was the worst. I'm recovering now.</p> <p>I forgot I had masks from when they had RSV and I remembered the masks when it was too late. </p>
