Babe with a cold

[elflyn]

I'm just after some thoughts.....
DS age 3 has a cold, not bad but a runny nose and a bit of a cough. I am tandem feeding him with babe, babe now has a cold.
Does anyone know if germs from the 3 year old could have stayed on my nipple and been passed to babe that way. I was fanatical about keeping him away from coughing and sneezing brothers.
Strange the ideas you have at 2am when sitting up with a coldy and upset baby.:unsure

No idea but every cold builds their immune systems... yeah you!

Yeah - the virus could survive on your skin for a little while. Start dosing yourself up on olive leaf or whatever else you have on hand. Brauer Cold Relief spray should pass through to them, too.

Thanks Ny,
I only have some tissue salts on hand, must get some OLE tomorrow.
I tried so hard to keep him from getting it, it is distressing for everyone, especially when they are so little.

It is so sad espesh when they're as tiny as your bub, I'm not sure abotu how he would've gotten it but I would say germs couls prolly survive on your skin for a little while.
