Can my new born catch my throat infection?

[extraT]

I have a very nasty throat infection. So bad (and this is the God's Honest), the doctor jumped back and exclaimed "Mother Mary"

The problem is I have a two week old baby girl at home and I am worried about passing this on to her.

Any advice? My natural instincts tell me to 'stay away', but the midwives here say my baby girl cannot catch anything like this at the moment.

So PH, what say you?

You and me both on the infection - feel better soon! My instinct is that you probably don't want to breathe all over her but that being in the same room/house is fine. IANAD.

That's my thinking too! i've been trying to keep away from the little'un, which is killing me

I hope you feel better soon!
