Cleaning when they are sick:(

Thank goodness it was this winter and not last that they caught this crud but we found out yesterday Jack has RSV which means JT does/or will too

How do you clean when your babies are sick? We've just had normal colds that I let them run their course and then wash everything. Should I wait until they aren't contagious anymore (I think around 5 days) and then disinfect everything? What about their babies? Should I wash those everyday since they sleep with them? (they are those blanket head things my DH calls their babies).

 

:hug: poor guys! When mine have been sick I tend to wash things a lot. For some reason it makes me feel like I'm washing those nasty germs away, but that may just be me. I use those clorox wipes a lot and make sure to get down on their level when cleaning.

 

I'm not sure if kids with RSV can get reinfected. ardon: With most colds I don't clean any more than normal (other than my hands), but RSV might be different. If I were you I'd call the ped and ask if you should clean as you go, or do a big wash-down after they're well again.

I'm so sorry that Jack has RSV; that sucks! :hug: to him and you, and also to poor JT who will probably get it too.

 

:hug: I'm sorry. I would wash as much as you can.. clean as much as you can.

 

I don't know how much it helps, but I try to wipe things down with Lysol or Clorox. I hope your little men feel better soon :hug:
