Re: the dreaded stomach virus

I had it about 3 weeks ago and I am pg to make matters worse. Anyway, DS is 10 months, he did not get sick at all. Thankfully it was over a weekend so Dh was able to care for him entirely. I really feel your pain, it was horrible.Chat Icon

No sorry I can't help you there - DD has had it since Tuesday (and is still throwing up on and off) and DH has it - so far I'm the one who has escaped it.

I hope you both feel better soon and that your DC doesn't get it - it is NOT fun.Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon

18 months. Unfortunately the stomach bug is VERY contagious but you can try to avoid passing it - by:
Washing everything (sheets, clothes etc) in HOT water with soap.
scrubbing down everything with a bleach based cleaner (clorox is what the ped recommended)
washing hands continuously esp after vomiting and going to the bathroom.
maybe wear gloves when you prepare food.

It is not (well depends on what strain you have) generally passed by breathing - but from saliva - so don't share drinks, etc.

Unfortunately that is all you can do and just hope that they don't get sick.
