Germs are actually more often spread by your hands than by your mouth. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ughim-sick#post-937762 Wed, 17 Jul 2013 08:03:44 +0000 Smurfette 937762@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am sick for the 3rd time since having R.

It's the pits feeling sick and taking care of a baby. I don't do anything special other than breastfeed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ughim-sick#post-937695 Wed, 17 Jul 2013 07:49:32 +0000 blackbird 937695@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hope you feel better soon :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ughim-sick#post-937683 Wed, 17 Jul 2013 07:45:56 +0000 mamimami 937683@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>PS I don't do anything to try and keep my kids from getting sick besides nursing. It just seems inevitable. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ughim-sick#post-937678 Wed, 17 Jul 2013 07:45:09 +0000 mamimami 937678@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Me toooooooo. Sick for the second time in just a few weeks. I am OUTRAGED about being sick AGAIN! GAH! I don't think my immune system is in a very good place now so I'm not even going to try and minimize... not worth getting my hopes up. I'll just let the sickness happen ha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ughim-sick#post-937526 Wed, 17 Jul 2013 06:13:18 +0000 heartonastring 937526@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I started to feel really crappy yesterday afternoon and by bedtime I had the terrible scratchy throat that always accompanies the beginning of a cold. Despite being ridiculously tired my throat was so irritated that I couldn't get to sleep until 12:30. I slept fairly well until DD got up at 5:30.</p> <p>I'm drinking lots of fluids, washing my hands like a crazy person and taking zinc lozenges (my tried and true cold remedy) to try to prevent passing it on to DD. And, of course, still nursing and hoping she gets some antibodies.</p> <p>Anything else I should do to try to prevent her from catching it? I'm so worried about her getting sick! It sucks not being able to kiss her sweet face :( </p>
