What Would Happen If A Baby Got Swine Flu?

Tuesday, October 13th, 2009

I am so scared as a few cases of it have been confirmed in Doncaster where i live.
I know most cases are very mild, but i’m so scared in case my 7 month old gets it and my 2 year old.
My friend got flu like symptoms and was advised by the doctor to stay in for 5 days, and he prescribed her Tami-flu in case it was swine flu.
She came back from the carribean 2 weeks ago so the doctor didn’t want to take any risks.
But i am so terrified for my babies, Anybody any idea?

What Are Some Good Precautions To Keep Newborn From Getting Swine Flu?

Thursday, September 24th, 2009

I have a 5 year old in kindergarten and a 3 year old in a two day a week preschool program. I have a 4 week old and have heard (through a close friend at the hospital) that a few of the nurses at a neighboring hospital have tested positive for swine flu. I get my children vaccinated every year for the regular flu but those haven’t been received yet (thought I know that won’t help for swine flu.) Should I pull my 3 year old from the preschool program until spring when my newborn will be older? Any ideas and advice would be appreciated. Also, how are babies doing that get the swine flu?
