From what I've heard/read, your immunity will be passed onto the baby. (Bfeeding is awesome!) </p> <p>I had a somewhat minor cold once and was terrified that I'd pass it onto LO who was only a few months old at the time...he got a sniffly nose but that was about it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-youre-totally-sick-do-you-have-someone-to-help-you-look-after-lo#post-104759 Thu, 29 Mar 2012 08:09:21 +0000 Andrea 104759@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rubies: hope not! really, the worst is when mommy and baby is sick!!! stay healthy little baby! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-youre-totally-sick-do-you-have-someone-to-help-you-look-after-lo#post-104755 Thu, 29 Mar 2012 08:08:08 +0000 Rubies 104755@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Andrea: @Cchoi4: The earliest hubs can be home is 4:30pm but it's not worth it since LO is in bed by 6pm. Sad! The thing is, I can suffer through the day but if I end up passing this cold onto LO, I'll be so smad (sad+mad) at the world! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-youre-totally-sick-do-you-have-someone-to-help-you-look-after-lo#post-104754 Thu, 29 Mar 2012 08:08:01 +0000 mrsjyw 104754@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thankfully I'll have dh and bth sets of gparents nearby for sick days. Feel better soon @rubies!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-youre-totally-sick-do-you-have-someone-to-help-you-look-after-lo#post-104739 Thu, 29 Mar 2012 08:02:03 +0000 mrs. wagon 104739@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I SOOOO wish we had this kind of support. Thankfully if Wagon Jr. is not sick himself he can go to school now which is great. Back when I was a SAHM Wagon Sr. had to come home early or take days off a lot, which was tough for him. His work is family friendly but he's been under a lot of pressure lately and he doesn't like how it makes him look when he has to take time off last minute. </p> <p>With my neck spasm I so wish my mom were close by to come cook food for us and take care of me so that Wagon Sr. could just take care of Wagon Jr. I'm really looking forward to when she comes when this baby is born! I've prepped her to basically stay for 6 months straight, taking breaks whenever she wants to (paying for plane tickets for her to go home would be a lot cheaper than paying for childcare!!) and she's ready to do so! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-youre-totally-sick-do-you-have-someone-to-help-you-look-after-lo#post-104730 Thu, 29 Mar 2012 07:56:13 +0000 heffalump 104730@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh no, hope you feel better!</p> <p>My dad is my mom's boss so she's almost always able to get off work if I need help. But if she can't, my FIL will. Problem is that LO screams at him (stranger anxiety) so then I just spend the whole time upset that LO is upset and it stresses me out even more. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-youre-totally-sick-do-you-have-someone-to-help-you-look-after-lo#post-104725 Thu, 29 Mar 2012 07:53:32 +0000 Cchoi4 104725@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If I'm really really bad, then I call either my mom or stepmom. But luckily we haven't had that problem since LO was 2 months old. Back when LO was super little, husband went on an out of town trip. We had his parents and my parents help me while I was battling a 105 fever. Husband came home a day early when he found out. </p> <p>I hope you feel better soon, Rubies! Can your husband leave work a little early today? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-youre-totally-sick-do-you-have-someone-to-help-you-look-after-lo#post-104712 Thu, 29 Mar 2012 07:46:10 +0000 SugarplumsMom 104712@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, DH. He's allotted baby sicks days and when the time comes, he better use them when needed! =) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-youre-totally-sick-do-you-have-someone-to-help-you-look-after-lo#post-104675 Thu, 29 Mar 2012 07:09:35 +0000 looch 104675@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. We all just tough it out. Sucks sometimes, but we get through it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-youre-totally-sick-do-you-have-someone-to-help-you-look-after-lo#post-104670 Thu, 29 Mar 2012 07:06:15 +0000 Andrea 104670@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No .... just the DH potentially, if he can take off work. Can the DH take off work or come home early? =( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-youre-totally-sick-do-you-have-someone-to-help-you-look-after-lo#post-104665 Thu, 29 Mar 2012 06:52:20 +0000 Rubies 104665@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've been battling a head/sinus cold and exhaustion and today I feel like I just can't take care of LO by myself. Unfortunately, I don't have anyone to help me take care of LO (usually my mom might be able to come but she can't today) and I feel so crappy.</p> <p>Do you have immediate help if you needed it? </p>
