My husband is the primary caretaker for our 5 mo old right now. He is sick as of yday- covid tested negative , think it's a cold. How concerned would u be ? I took care of baby and worked yday which was near impossible but am wondering if today he can care for her with a mask/extra precautions? Or not risk it and push thru doing double duty until he feels better? I'm a first time nom BTW 🙂

Was in this same boat recently. With an N95 mask on is okay our doctor said, but at that age it’s also likely that the baby already has it if they were exposed to your husband yesterday. Wear masks and monitor baby’s temp w a rectal thermometer, anything above 100.4 call the doctor ASAP - no Tylenol for the baby that could mask the fever. It was really hard but we all got through okay! Hoping for the best for you!

Maybe give husband a day off to rest and pull double duty (as soon as baby arrives, we tend to forget that they like to be looked after too…). Could you take a day off to look after her? If he’s still testing negative tomorrow it’s probably fine. That said, even a cold sucks for a really young baby, so she might just want you. If you’re breast feeding, your milk will help her get better, so get her to drink up.

Good luck! xx

FORM50 fitness? Anyone familiar with them? Looks kind of like power Pilates. They only have a New York (Astoria) studio and a Miami studio.

Whether I present female or male, it’s not an environment I’m likely to pass super well in so wondering about how lgbt welcoming it will be. Also if the workout is as lit as people seem to represent.
