Any precautions I should take with DS if I have strep throat?

DS is 6 months and is EBF. I can't even have somebody else feed him my backup supply because DH just had surgery and can't pick the baby up. (Yes, we are having a good week!

Shall I call the pediatrician tomorrow to figure things out? I'm absolutely lost. Chat Icon

I have no clue as far as breast feeding goes but I can tell you to wear a surgical mask. Switch it every now and again. Obviosuly you arent; goignt o wear it all day long but wear it when your around DS.

Keep washing your hands and put sanitizer on too. Don't touch your face.

Dh is sick too; he has strep and also bronchitis. So that's everything he is doing besides taking meds. There's not much he can do. It stinks being sick and having a baby around.
