What am I going to do? My husband works in a place where there are lots of children and whenever there are lots of children, there are lots of germs. So for the second time this year he brought home those germs. Thankfully the first time I only got mildly sick and the baby was fine. However this time both me and the baby got sick too! So we're both not sleeping through the night...Any advice from mothers who have been through it?... Please share!

Hi deejean.
I'm so sorry to hear that you are all sick. It's really hard especially with the baby. Aside from taking medication, it would help if you can drink a lot of fruit juice and water. I don't know if this helps, but I usually change the beddings immediately when someone is sick around my house.
Since you have mentioned that your husband got the virus from work, it would help if you tell him to take a shower and change his clothes right away when he gets home...it would even be better if he could bring an extra shirt with him so he could change before going home.
I do hope you all get better very soon. Take care.

Hi elmo...Thanks for the wonderful ideas - I will ask him to change as soon as he gets home. We have been drinking oj like we live in Florida! I'll be changing the bedding no matter what when we get sick again - thanks for that tip!

You must be washing hands often. Make this a point to everyone at home. Ask your husband to take bath once he is back after work. Eat hot food always. All these can help.
