My mom used to semi quarantine us. No hanging out in common areas. Liberal disinfectant use.

If anyone of us were sick, she would limit us to our rooms and be super fastidious with handwashing etc...

Being sick did not mean we got to be queens of the couch. We were made to rest in bed.

We don't have skids full time but I feel like they get sick a lot. If they are sick they aren't allowed to touch babies toys and quarantine will range from not touching and kissing baby to staying in different parts of the house as much as possible. Also vigorous hand washing and teaching them how to cough.

Our DS1 was having a surgery and if he got sick they wouldn't operate so we were very strict about this. Since we've been so strict the worst DS has gotten is a runny nose (knock on wood).

We also explained to them how being sick can hurt a baby a lot more than you and I. That helped because they generally want to protect their lil bro.
