I'm not letting myself google anything on it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/talk-me-off-the-edge#post-327952 Fri, 05 Oct 2012 19:00:38 +0000 hispj324 327952@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hope your LO is ok! that is scary. DS got that when he was younger and it was the worst time in his life. Honestly i would call your pedi and see if you can start any preventive methods just in case. He is so young! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/talk-me-off-the-edge#post-327904 Fri, 05 Oct 2012 17:46:27 +0000 HLK208 327904@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wiki says, "It is moderately contagious and is spread through direct contact with the mucus, saliva, or feces of an infected person." So hopefully they didn't touch each other? I hope your LO is okay!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/talk-me-off-the-edge#post-327896 Fri, 05 Oct 2012 17:36:55 +0000 Andrea 327896@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's not your fault! Our pediatrician said to avoid crowded places, like a busy mall during the weekend. Having a friend babysit in her home isn't the same thing. I hope your LO will be fine! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/talk-me-off-the-edge#post-327873 Fri, 05 Oct 2012 16:54:12 +0000 Cherrybee 327873@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh no. I hope your LO is okay?? I'd say keep watching your LO for symptoms and call the doctor if you're worried. I'm sure it's all fine - and, either way, it's really not your fault, please know that.</p> <p>Keep us updated. x </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/talk-me-off-the-edge#post-327839 Fri, 05 Oct 2012 16:11:37 +0000 matador84 327839@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So I posted awhile back about how our pediatrician said not to take LO anywhere until 8 week shots. Well, we have done great except I had a huge test to take Wednesday and left LO w/a good friend who is a SAHM with an 18 month old.</p> <p>She called me today to say he had been throwing up and took him to the doctor and he has foot &amp; mouth!! Ugh! She said her pedi said he would have been exposed and to look for symptoms. Right after I got off the phone with her LO had the most explosive diaper I think I've ever encountered! </p> <p>I don't even want to start googling things. He doesn't seem lethargic or acting weird-just typical newborn. But he is only 5 weeks old and I would never forgive myself if he got sick and had to go tithe hospital because I had to take a test! </p>
