Even if they have been exposed - it makes me feel better haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/keeping-my-babies-separated#post-760549 Fri, 03 May 2013 20:47:20 +0000 Andrea 760549@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I try to keep them separated but obviously it is hard so I just have DD wash her hands a lot and not touch/kiss the baby. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/keeping-my-babies-separated#post-760514 Fri, 03 May 2013 20:01:19 +0000 mrbee 760514@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: we definitely try to keep the sick kid away from the non sick one! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/keeping-my-babies-separated#post-760486 Fri, 03 May 2013 18:50:03 +0000 sarac 760486@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: Germs are just everywhere, honestly, to an extent that I'm not sure people understand. Handwashing really helps, but that's about it. If someone in a house has something, everyone is going to be or has already been exposed, end of story. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/keeping-my-babies-separated#post-760437 Fri, 03 May 2013 18:08:36 +0000 autumnlove 760437@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sarac: yep, I got over it fast! :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/keeping-my-babies-separated#post-760407 Fri, 03 May 2013 17:24:35 +0000 runsyellowlites 760407@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Never worried about it. DH is funny b/c he got a cold when she was still pretty new &amp; wouldn't pick her up or anything BUT she sleeps in our bed... the same bed that he'd been sleeping in "coming down" with whatever he had. smh. lol</p> <p>I figure this is the reason we breastfeed. I just keep her close &amp; nurse as much as possible. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/keeping-my-babies-separated#post-760383 Fri, 03 May 2013 17:05:51 +0000 sarac 760383@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Also, you other child is spreading germs onto everything she touches, so there really isn't any way to keep the germs from your newborn. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/keeping-my-babies-separated#post-759729 Fri, 03 May 2013 12:25:15 +0000 mamimami 759729@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't worry that much because I figure I pass on my antibodies through breastfeeding. Usually when our little babe gets sick it's not as severe as in the rest of us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/keeping-my-babies-separated#post-759721 Fri, 03 May 2013 12:22:02 +0000 autumnlove 759721@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO stayed home from daycare with a runny nose and fever. DH is home but he isn't doing a good job of keeping LO away from the newborn....Ahhh!</p> <p>Do you keep your sick LOs from the healthy ones? I think I'm only concerned because she is a newborn! </p>
