Recovering from this cold

So Kira is almost 7 months old and this is her first time being sick. I have to say she has handled it like a trooper. As a mom it's our job to think about everything and one of my concerns was keeping her healthy for as long as I could until she is at the age she can take medicine for it. Some people have been extremely careful around us and know that we have asked them to let us know if they are sick whereas some others have not been so understanding and it's like trying to beat a dead horse trying to get them to wash their hands or tell us they are sick. I think a lot of it has to do with how you are raised. I was raised to always wash my hands before I hold a new baby and others have no concept of this. Anyhow Kira finally caught this cold and is on the tail end of things, luckily, but it sure hasn't been a fun journey.
I give support to those moms that worry about these things too. Of course you can't prevent everything or stress yourself out but I feel like people should respect your decisions for your child. Some people are so resistant to listening to something that is different than what they believe is right.
