And constantly washing their hands. Ick, I hate colds. We had our fair share last month :( hoping your little girl feels better soon!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-are-you-protecting-your-lo-from-the-flu#post-499115 Fri, 11 Jan 2013 18:20:52 +0000 Bao 499115@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm worried about this too! I have a bad cold right now and LO is good so far (fingers crossed), so hopefully she doesn't catch anything. I use lots of sanitizer and make DH wash his hands when he gets home so he doesn't bring the flu home from work. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-are-you-protecting-your-lo-from-the-flu#post-499110 Fri, 11 Jan 2013 18:17:01 +0000 Ree723 499110@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO is currently battling a cold and I am absolutely petrified she is going to get the flu (i know a cold can't turn into the flu but I'm worried about her immune system being down at the moment because of this cold). She's 6 months old now so I know I could get her a flu shot but we're only going to be in the States for two more weeks before we head back to Australia, where it's summer and there is no flu outbreak. And since the shot takes about two weeks to become effective, there's really no point in taking her for it now.</p> <p>I've had the flat shot, as has my mom (who we're staying with) but short of keeping her in a little bubble at home with me, what else can I do to make sure she doesn't get it? After seeing her with a cold (her first illness), I am absolutely petrified of her getting the flu!</p> <p>What are you doing to protect your LOs from the flu? </p>
