Hi Everyone,

I was just wondering if anyone else was feeling as paranoid as I am about my baby catching colds/flus at the moment?

I feel like I'm borderline manic about it. I don't want to leave the house with her or have people come to the house to see her. I'm so worried about her falling ill. She's so tiny and new - I couldn't bare it if something happened to her.

I know that breast feeding helps support her immune system, but I still can't help but feel slightly on the verge on panic when I think about my mother-in-law travelling from the UK in a plane full of people in 2 weeks time to come and visit. I know that she would never do anything to put Asher at risk, but how can you avoid it on an international flight if there are a few people ill?

Even going to the shops I cover her completely in the baby bjorn or the pram in the hopes that no cold and flu germs can get to her.

I think I just need to know I'm not alone here.....
