[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'd be taking baby with me too. Newborns need antibodies. If your baby has a fever and is <3 months old, they are supposed to go to the NICU. You should not be traveling. The safest way to travel is to at least give baby your antibodies.[/quote]
What if the baby was exclusively formula-fed?[/quote]

So I guess I should have just sent my kids to the NICU for the first three months since the were formula fed due to a double mastectomy. Good to know! I'll make sure to let my other friends know.  :roll: [/quote]

Your situation is completely different.  However, would you choose to do this?  During a pandemic leave your 8 week old?  [/quote]

No, it's not. Anyone who says that it's ok to formula feed babies of mothers who have had mastectomies or adopted babies but not babies who are with their biologically intact mothers is a hypocrite. It makes NO DIFFERENCE why someone would be formula feeding their baby. Just like COVID doesn't care if someone is doing something out of necessity or simply because they want to - the risks are exactly the same.

Do you honestly think OP is choosing to be in this situation? Have you ever had to be a caretaker for a parent? Do you have any idea how stressful that is? So if your question is would I choose to have a parent who required round-the-clock caregiving need me while I had an eight-week-old baby then the answer is obviously no. Just like OP would say she didn't choose to be in this situation. However, if I had to leave my eight-week old during a pandemic I'd thank my lucky stars that I have a husband who is fully capable of caring for our children by himself.[/quote]
