that can guide isolation time. CHOP says breastfeeding moms can continue to nurse, but should mask while interacting with the baby.
Dr. Allison Bartlett, a pediatric infectious disease specialist at University of Chicago Medicine’s Comer Children’s Hospital, acknowledges the complexity of such a situation. She says how you handle it will depend on many factors: the age of the child, whether everyone else is vaccinated, whether anyone in the household is at higher risk for illness, and whether the child is experiencing symptoms and needs more hands-on care or is asymptomatic.
For an older child who might be vaccinated, and also able to walk around the house and wear a mask, they may need less hands-on care. “If it’s an older child who wants to leave their room and go grab food in the kitchen and go back to their room,” Bartlett said, “they can wear a mask to decrease the risk for everybody else.”
At the same time, “Parenting a sick child solo is not easy either,” Bartlett said. “If you’re lucky enough to have two parents and share the load, that doesn’t have COVID-related benefits, but it has sanity-related benefits.”Should parents wear masks around the child?
