Pink Eye in a 3 month old?!

Pink Eye in a 3 month old?

My son is 3 months old. He will be 4 months on the 24th. My best friends 5 month old son has pink eye. I know that it contagious and its also a bacteria thats in the air that gets into ur eye. Well im not blaming anyone for my son getting it but myself. My best friends brother had it also. Ive tried to keep my son away and wash my hands and use germ-x but i didnt have any Lysol to spray to kill the germs. I feel bad that my son got it but his doc told me not to because i caught it real soon. I noticed it yesterday when i got up to go to work. My sister kept him til my mom got off. I told her that it looks like he mite have it so plz put a warm rag on it so itll help. I took my son to the doc 2day b4 i came to work. My doc told me that im a good mother and not to blame myself for it but i still feel guilty. Im very protective of my son so i think that's y im feeling like this. I barely let ne1 outside of fam keep him. Plz no harsh answers unless u think im wrong. Should i feel guilty?

My best friends son had 2 b hospitalized bcuz of the drops they gave him he had a reaction to it. When i tell ppl things about my child some ppl say that i shouldve done this but his doc tells me other wise. I dont even like ppl touching my sons hands because he loves to put em in his mouth and i dont want him getting sick or catching anything and 2 certain women keeps tellin me that i should get over it. I do tell them that my child is my child so let me take care of him how i feel is best and how i want to. I think im doing fine as long as he eats and gains weight(12lbs now) goes thru diapers like he should both wet and spoiled, gets his sleep and has clothes on his back. Basically the most important things. Im open to suggestions but not the negative ones. I believe that everything happens for a reason and that if God didnt think i was ready for a baby he wouldnt have blessed me with my son Kenyon. Again, Im blaming myself and feeling guilty for my son getting pink eye

relax mom-you did everything right.

kids can pick up germs from anywhere-it's impossible no matter what their age to prevent them from getting sick ALL of the time.

by trying to keep him away from it and taking him straight to the dr once you noticed he was sick shows that you're a great mom.

i'm a mommy of 3 and also a nurse in trauma icu and just last month i had to take my 5 year old daughter to the emergency room b/cher sister was sitting on top of the cabinet door that was attached to a very heavy bookshelf in their room while i was cooking dinner. even though the bookshelf was anchored into the wall to prevent it from tipping over-it still did, landing on my little girl (hitting her back and her head). she had a pretty good knot but was ok.

bottom line-kids will get into things,injure themselves, and get sick no matter how much you try to protect them!!
