When he's better he so owes me some sleep : ) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-you-or-ds-are-sick-do-you-limit-your-contact-with-lo#post-588435 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 22:02:02 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 588435@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artbee: How are you doing? Are you on instagram? I would love to see more pics of your adorable little girl!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-you-or-ds-are-sick-do-you-limit-your-contact-with-lo#post-588400 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 21:42:29 +0000 heffalump 588400@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm a sahm. I spend all day, every day with lo. I don't have a choice. I try to wash my hands a lot and not breath on her, but she's always on top of me crawling all over me. Last time I had a really bad cold it lasted two weeks and lo didn't even catch it. Dh did though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-you-or-ds-are-sick-do-you-limit-your-contact-with-lo#post-588390 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 21:37:48 +0000 doodlepoodle 588390@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@coacheswife123: Oh yes! Help is important to remember you can ask for! :) When I had my wisdom teeth removed last month I had my mom over everyday for a week and my MIL came a few days in the evening. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-you-or-ds-are-sick-do-you-limit-your-contact-with-lo#post-588386 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 21:36:15 +0000 yoursilverlining 588386@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If one of us is sick they sleep in the guestroom. Not because we are afraid they will make LO sick, but to make sure they get a full night of sleep; completely uninterrupted by spouse, baby or cat! Other than that, we don't limit exposure. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-you-or-ds-are-sick-do-you-limit-your-contact-with-lo#post-588384 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 21:36:05 +0000 pl0508 588384@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@babyjmama: I do agree. My mom came to stay and help out when my DH was sick ! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-you-or-ds-are-sick-do-you-limit-your-contact-with-lo#post-588373 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 21:31:59 +0000 doodlepoodle 588373@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@travelgirl1: Oh heck no girl, if you're tired you're tired! If you let yourself get run down then it will just mean you will get sick! You tell him to suck it up and help out ;) DH totally doesn't get away with everything when he's sick haha (but I do...oopsies!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-you-or-ds-are-sick-do-you-limit-your-contact-with-lo#post-588370 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 21:30:50 +0000 tysonja 588370@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we just wash hands like crazy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-you-or-ds-are-sick-do-you-limit-your-contact-with-lo#post-588369 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 21:30:31 +0000 pl0508 588369@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH just had a stomach bug. He stayed in the bedroom for like 48 straight hours! We were so nervous LO would get it. He is one month old </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-you-or-ds-are-sick-do-you-limit-your-contact-with-lo#post-588368 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 21:30:24 +0000 travelgirl1 588368@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BabyBoecksMom: He didn't get it from her.... no idea where he got it from but really don't want him to share it : ) </p> <p>@babyjmama: Yeah I've tried to let him rest today but it's been hard as I'm running on fumes just now. Guess I'm going to have to wait a bit longer for my rest : ) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-you-or-ds-are-sick-do-you-limit-your-contact-with-lo#post-588362 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 21:27:45 +0000 doodlepoodle 588362@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH slept on the couch one time when I was sick (hell no am I going to the couch!) but it was because I was snoring so loud it woke him up ;-) More than anything we allow each other to rest, so we don't try to push work on the other person and just let them rest to get well. We don't let J live in a bubble though, we just try to be somewhat careful. :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-you-or-ds-are-sick-do-you-limit-your-contact-with-lo#post-588361 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 21:27:40 +0000 Bao 588361@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH usually tries to stay away but since I'm BF her I don't have that option. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-you-or-ds-are-sick-do-you-limit-your-contact-with-lo#post-588359 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 21:26:58 +0000 travelgirl1 588359@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@runsyellowlites: breastfeeding wouldn't protect her unless I had it too would it? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-you-or-ds-are-sick-do-you-limit-your-contact-with-lo#post-588357 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 21:26:16 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 588357@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If I know she was the one who gave it to us, then I don't stay away - I actually take the time to snuggle with her :-) Usually, she's sick and we don't want to catch it (thank you, daycare), so we don't snuggle very much until she's healthy again. But, if she's healthy and we're sick, then I we just wash our hands before holding her and try not to kiss on her until we're healthy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-you-or-ds-are-sick-do-you-limit-your-contact-with-lo#post-588354 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 21:24:59 +0000 runsyellowlites 588354@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope! P sleeps in bed with us &amp; we've both been sick &amp; she's been fine. Figure that's why I breastfeed. Lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-you-or-ds-are-sick-do-you-limit-your-contact-with-lo#post-588349 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 21:23:15 +0000 mrbee 588349@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Usually, it's something I caught from them! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-you-or-ds-are-sick-do-you-limit-your-contact-with-lo#post-588348 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 21:23:04 +0000 MaisyMay 588348@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO gave DH her cold, so I let the two of them hang out as much as possible. He just wanted to lay down so they got lots of snuggle time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-you-or-ds-are-sick-do-you-limit-your-contact-with-lo#post-588343 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 21:21:02 +0000 travelgirl1 588343@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH has a bad cold right now and I'm terrified he'll give it to A. Yesterday I'd told him he was going to have to do major baby duty today as I'm shattered, but actually I've barely let him near her all day, I'm just scared of her exposure to germs and so is he, he's sleeping on the sofa tonight as a precaution since she sleeps in our room, but I can tell he misses snuggling her.</p> <p>Do you limit your time with baby if you're so sick? </p>
