[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Family came over carrying the gut bug, we were all sick last night. Now DS (3 weeks) is running a low grade fever (100.9) and has vomited twice. No desire to eat, super lethargic. This is an immediate trip to the ER, right? I've never heard of a newborn getting the stomach virus and [b]thought he'd be immune[/b].[/quote] Where is that coming from? Nobody becomes immune to stomach viruses, so you can't confer any immunity to the baby through breastmilk. As a rule, newborns are exceptionally susceptible to everything, which is why, as our pediatrician told us, you don't expose them to tons of people, especially in the winter. I know a lot of people do anyway, so I'm not judging you, but I really do wonder why anyone would think that a newborn is immune to a stomach virus.[/quote]
