How contagious is the flu?

Will my 2 week old get the flu if the household has it? He’s breastfed. So far, I don’t have it. Just my husband and my two older boys. My anxiety is through the roof.

It’s possible that he could get it. Make sure he isn’t around the ones that are sick and everyone remember hand hygiene. And Lysol everything!

It’s possible but breastfeeding is a great boost to their immunity. Just ensure the usual hand washing and hygiene with the family.

Less likely because of breastmilk. Keep feeding. Hell get the antibodies you supply him with.
