Can you tell me how much time should i watch my 11 week old for symptoms after exposure to strep?

Few days: Symptoms of Streptococcal infection following exposure should generally develop within 1-4 days. Infants are somewhat protected from infection by maternal antibodies ( antibodies they get from their mother's immune system during the pregnancy) for about 12 weeks.
