How to cope with baby when mums ill

[loopy_lou]

Hi Gals,

I have been in bed all weekend with a horrid cold i feel like i have been knocked over the head and have been eating glass not helped by a cold sore and my period starting

Husband has to go back to work monday and i am not sure how i am going to cope especially if Harriet get it? Shes already gone off her food and been very cranky.

Any advice?

I am in the same position this weekend.
Take it easy - if you make bottles, prepare them for the whole day if you can
Take a hot shower to help with the cold - it helped me.
Make sure hubby brings some calpol home!
And if you've got anti bacterial gel, use this wherever possible to try and reduce the risk of passing it on.

Theres only so much you can do. If Harriet does get it, you'll probably be feeling better by that point xx

thanks sb1 yes we tend to make her her bottles in a batch each evening husbands making dinner and i have the water on to cool now so they can be made a little earlier.

shower is a good idea Harriets just had a rusk and i am going to sort out her bath so might jump in the shower first

Hope your feeling better soon as well
