Did you take any special precautions with whooping cough prevalence and your newborn?

[Taurean]

we got the booster and carried on like normal. we went to shopping centres etc,

We did the same. It worried us a bit but certainly not enough to put our lives on hold for a few months. We were very cautious of anyone who was ill at all though in the early weeks.

with dd1 we did nothing different, with dd2 we had boosters and ran away from anyone with a filthy cough, but apart from that just carried on as normal, we were out in playgrouds etc from 3 days old, although i wouldnt 'show' the baby to other kids close up...look dont touch . having another child who would go crazy if we didnt go out every day we couldnt really lock our selves away.
