[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you were exposed to this person who has now Etsy Ed positive for covid, it makes sense that he is isolating from you. Is he taking care of the baby and asking you to stay away? That would make sense if so. Is he asking you to wear a mask around the baby? Because you should be.

I’m not sure why this is your fault though unless he did not where to you going over there?

I agree if he is this anxious about covid staying home or doing a solo nanny who is vaccinated and masked is a better idea.

I would not let anyone hold my baby right now either. [/quote]

+1 to the above.

While the supplements and nasal sprays etc. are definitely going too far, and are actually unwise as there's nothing to prove they make a difference...Other than those things, his approach is not as paranoid as you want to believe, OP. Your child has zero immunity to this virus; a much, much more highly contagious variant is now the dominant one everywhere in the country; e[i]ven vaccinated people can be infected with delta variant and can pass it on to the unvaccinated like your baby;[/i] and your child is a long time away from being vaccinated for it. This PP is right. You do know you cannot trust that nanny share family again, right?

Your DH sounds especially worried but I would be too if I had a baby or young child right now. His approach sounds grating, yes, but I wonder if that is the result of feeling he's not being taken seriously by you? I don't mean that to sound snarky but you seem not to be very concerned at the thought of your baby and covid. Maybe if he heard from you that you take it seriously and don't call it "paranoia" he might be calmer.

Are you upset about his "paranoia" or about the fact he blames you for that other family exposing you and the baby? The latter is not really on you but you could act as if it's something to take seriously. Have you actually talked to him and said you and he don't seem to be on the same page, and you want to understand his reactions and explain your own? In a non-judgmental way?

And PP is right. Forget nanny sharing; it will only create more stress between you and DH. If you just must have a nanny, find any way you can to get a solo nanny, vaxxed and masked the whole time. Yes, masked. Read up on delta and asymptomatic transmission in vaccinated people.
