all that yummy colostrum should help bubs stay clear of anything. And just make sure you are getting rest, eating and drinking well, to keep the bugs at bay. When my winter bub was born her sisters and father (a school teacher) were exposed to many bugs had them but never passed them on. Handwashing is a great idea and not breathing all over bub (easier said then done)
A note on echinacea, I have been told not to use this whilst breastfeeding or pregnant. I would get advice off a trusted naturopath on that before you consider taking it. Many health food stores and pharmacy's will sell anything over the counter without really knowing much about the product.


Goodluck with your little bundle... I love having three girls!
