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! ) My throat got sore starting on Friday and now I have white patches on the back of my throat. I'm assuming I have strep, but will find out tomorrow at the doctor. What can I do? Shall I call the pediatrician tomorrow to figure things out? I'm absolutely lost.

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.
