Im going to try and word this as best as I can lol as i don't want to start up arguments Just want to get some information back on what you girls think..
I know some people have had multiple children before and now pregnant again, so obviously there baby would have been exposed to older children, which makes sense.
This is my first so he won't have any older siblings to be exposed to, but he will have his cousins (my boyfriends neices and nephews). They will be 20 months, 26 months and 7 when baby is here. So a little too young to be holding baby, okay 7 isnt that young but I think im very overprotective and won't let him be holding Aidan..but i'm more concerned at like the germs etc they *could* be carrying? The 7 year old is at school so i'm scared he could be carrying an underlying cold or something that he could pass on to the baby, if that's possible?
Obviously i'm not going to be handing the baby out to the children and going "go and cough and sneeze on him all you like!" lol.
I'm only going to be going round to see my boyfriend a few times in the first few weeks of Aidan's life, i'll be shattered and all stitched up *maybe* and we've agreed this is fine, and I doubt the older children will be there when we go up. I'm going up on Christmas eve, so there will be the three children all there.
I'm just scared incase Aidan cathes something, anything, from a little cold to a wee chest infection, as Ive heard these can cause cot deaths? Im not too sure.
I hope ive worded this right and didn't sound too much like all the children are carrying icky germs haha! Just INCASE they were.
Am i okay to go round when the children are there? as they won't be holding the baby nor breathing/coughing/sneezing around him etc?
