If Father Is Positive
Make sure he is isolated and have no physical contact with the child.
If Mother Is Positive
And child is old enough to take care of themselves, avoid physical contact and be in isolation.
If your child is young, you can be with your child to take care of him/her while taking appropriate precautionary measures.
• Wear a mask while you are breast feeding or taking care of the baby. Make sure your nose and mouth are covered properly.
• Avoid touching your face then touching any surface or your baby.
• Wash your hands and use sanitizer before touching their things or them.
• I would prefer wearing an apron while baby is with you, sometimes when we sneeze or cough our clothes can get some of infected droplets on it.
If Both Are Positive
Please Do Not send your child to your relatives or friends, cause their is a high chance your child is exposed and can spread infection. You can be with your child by taking precautionary measures mentioned above.
If you have a care giver at home who is not positive and can take care of your baby, Mother could pump her breast milk and the person who is not infected can feed the baby.
This could be a very difficult time for parents, but it’s important to take care of your child and yourself too!
Keep monitoring yourself for symptoms. Mainly your Saturation and Temperature and if your symptoms are getting better or worst.
Keep an close eye on your child and watch for symptoms like fever, cough, shortness of breath or rashes. If you suspect any of these symptoms contact your pediatrician right away.
