Help! I have a cold!

SashaReenee

I just had my son a week ago today and I have the worst cold!!! My eyes are leaking green fluid, I have a cough, an on again/off again fever, runny nose, very sore throat, and I have lost my voice. I am wearing a mask and being sure to wash my hands before touching him. I have also tried to keep my distance, but it is breaking my heart to not be able to talk to him or hold him that much. Plus, my husband goes back to work tomorrow and I will be the only one here to care for him. Is there ANYTHING I can do? Am I worrying for nothing? Is my baby even at risk to catch this from me?

 

Oh, and I am bottle-feeding....so he isn't getting the anti-bodies breast milk provides...
