[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you breastfed and didn’t have c sections, I wouldn’t worry too much about rsv. It’s a cold. Do your kids’ colds usually go to their lungs? [/quote]

He is a C section baby born at 38 weeks.

My kids are healthy but my DS5 was dramatically sick for a day with covid (looked like appendicitis) and visited the ER for that. I don't think he would get dramatically sick but to be honest I am kind of selfish and I don't want to go through the 24-48 hours of ER hell with wailing babies. [/quote]

I’m PP from 12:13. Given your experience with your 5 year old and your concern about rsv, I think you would feel more at ease if you did take precautions for the next couple of months. It’s not selfish to want to avoid the 24-48 h of ER, that’s terrible for everyone! It’s a shame for your middle child, who has missed out on a lot, but we are between holidays, so there is probably not much school anyway.

No one addressed your original question about rsv antibodies - the last I heard was that testing is not very helpful because the results can be inconsistent. Also,[b] immunity to rsv is fleeting[/b], and reinfection throughout life is common, which explain the concern for kids with lung problems and older adults. [/quote]

If that is the case, then I am probably not immune because I have been in the covid bubble too.

I guess I will be investing in outdoor gear instead of indoor activities! [/quote]
