Partner feels unwell
My partner has messaged this evening while he’s at work to say he feels poorly, sore throat, headache & runny nose.
Our baby is nearly 6 weeks & exclusively breastfed - my mum says that my milk will already be giving her the antibodies as it’s likely he will have already had the bug in his system when he woke up this morning.
Is it best for him to sleep downstairs? Or just avoid holding her until he feels better? Just unsure and don’t want her to feel poorly ☹️

I asked about this before and the midwife said avoid kissing and holding but to stay in the same room as you’ll create more antibodies in your breast milk for the baby :)
lol I’d say get him to sleep seperate..but that’s coming from someone who’s been sick so much over last couple months and I do not want a new cold and I want as much sleep without disturbance as possible. So we literally slept seperate last night. Each to their own.
I would say jus avoid holding and getting close. That's what I would do anyway
