Children getting sick post-travel
I'm curious...how many of you have a child that you believe got sick as a result of taking a flight? I don't mean "got worn down by travel and then got sick", but actually picked up a bug from an airplane surface or a passenger cough/sneeze?
TinyDancer took 16 flight segments in her 1st 7 months, and got sick after the very last one because (I believe) she wasn't strapped into her car seat (it was a completely full WN flight) and was at the stage where she had her hands on everything. I wiped down the hard surfaces as best I could, but there was little I could do about the soft ones. I'm pretty sure it was related to this flight, since she had never been sick until then, hadn't had her schedule terribly disrupted by the trip, and hadn't been very close to/handled by any obviously sick people.
Any recommendations for dealing with this in the future?
