is taking my 10 month old with bronchitis...

...out dangerous for his health? my 10 month old has bronchitis and we are supposed to go to my inlaws tonight to open gifts but im worried that its not a good idea to take him out. Anyone have any ideas? they live a few minutes away and we would be gone for a couple of hours. I just dont want to make him any sicker.

Fresh air isn't a bad thing, even if it's cold fresh air. As long as he doesn't get too tired out playing, you can feel safe going to the in-law's.Are there other babies or older people (frail) there who might catch cooties from the baby though?

cover his head with a blanket while walking up to house and keep him in a warm area of the house.

Just like you would treat yourself. Wrap him up really well and keep him covered. He should be fine. My mom took me on a plane with bronchitis from CA to NC. LOL! That was a horrid idea, but at 24 I am fine. Your 10 month old is going to be just fine. Enjoy your Christmas Eve. Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

First of all don't smoke. keep all your windows open " just a crack ", IF you want some air, (only 2 times a day) For only 30 minutes.Don't use any kind of sprays. . No lysol. No spray deodorants. No spray perfume.and DON'T under any case at all take the baby out if the wind is blowing . You should never , never bundle a young baby or toddler so tight that it has no circulation, a t-shirt, one sweatshirt, and a good coat with a liner will be enough. A baby can get a fever when bundled too tight. (Not to make you paranoid.)God bless you, happy holidays, and don't obsess about ANYTHING>You are a good MOTHER!
