Could a newborn(1.5-2month)catch something from me off my clothes after i held her after i had my alone time though i washed my hands. i worry a lot
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possible: Caution around newborns in order to save them from debilitating illness is appropriate,bBut also know that it is normal for newborns to encounter microbes and pathogens in general. It helps to build the immune system, so an inappropriate level of worry may be more harmful to your health than beneficial to theirs.
