" I want to go visit a friend and her week-old (!) baby this weekend \u2026  But I&amp;#039;m worried my baby might be too germ-y!  The thing is, Emmett hasn&amp;#039;t been sick in weeks! He caught that crazy cold in mid-December, but he&amp;#039;s been healthy as a little horse (a miniature pony, perhaps) for weeks!  Still, I think I&amp;#039;ll leave him at home for the visit.  I know when I had a newborn, I didn&amp;#039;t want other people&amp;#039;s babies getting too close. But was I being\u2014and am I still being\u2014a weirdo? Is my healthy baby the cuddly bundle of germs I&amp;#039;m envisioning? Or is he no more germ-y than the average grown-up? I mean, it&amp;#039;s not like he&amp;#039;s in daycare with a million other snot-nosed infants. And the nanny and I both take him lots of places\u2014the library, the park, the grocery store\u2014but it&amp;#039;s not like he&amp;#039;s hopping out of his stroller and licking the floors or anything.  Do I need to worry about my healthy baby getting a newborn sick? Or do I need to get my crazy paranoia in check?!  "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
