Looking for some reassurance as a ftm. My husband and I have both had horrific colds. My husband first, with symptoms starting about 12 days ago, then me about 5 days ago. My husband is fully better as of 2 days ago, but I am still dealing with lingering symptoms although much better.
Our 2 month old thankfully has only had some mild congestion, extra sleepiness and has reduced feed volume by about 2 oz. of formula a day for the past 4 days.
I just want reassurance that we're probably in the clear with her as far as getting significantly worse at least from this bout of illness.
I'm so terrified of her developing a fever or getting bad respiratory symptoms, but at this point she's had 4 days of noticeable symptoms and almost 2 weeks of exposure from both of us without getting much worse.
So do you think we lucked out and it'll stay mild? Or are we not out of the woods yet? If we're not, how many more days until I can relax and not feel like a terrible mom for getting my baby sick?
