Toddler DS got Newborn DS sick

5 week old DS seems to have a stuffy nose and a little cough.

We tried our hardest to keep sick 2yo DS away from NB DS. 99% of the time we can but there have been a few instances where DS coughed directly on NB. In hindsight, we probably shouldn't have but older DS kisses and hugs NB DS all the time. How can you not love watching your older DS be affectionate to his baby brother?

BTDT Moms, did your toddlers get your newborns sick?

NB doesn't have a fever. I'm hoping he'll be ok. I know a fever during the first month required a spinal tap. I am hoping a little cold isn't a big deal.

You need to CHILLLLLLLLLLLLLLL out..

I can't help but want to give you a hug through the monitor...I remember the transition being so difficult between 1-2 and I can relate to alot I see in your posts.. :)

Things are going to happen. It's inevitable. There are some things that you will never be able to prevent.

I hope it's nothing big and it's only a cold.. remember that newborns are usually stuffy in the beginning too..

Turn the cool mist on and elevate him when he sleeps and he should be better in no time..
