Non-vaxed baby exposed to H1N1?

[***edgar]

Hello ladies,
This is my first post here. I am not vaxing my child (22 months), because I don't believe it is good for her. However, my daughter was a preemie, so I am trying to keep her protected at least for the first two years by breastfeeding her and by limiting her exposure to sick kids. The otherday, I met my friend and he daughter at the zoo, and my daugher drank after her kid....Who had just been vaxed with H1N1. Now I am really worried. Is it possible that my daugher could get sick from this? I know they say that you can't get swine flu this way, but I am not saure that I believe it. Help!

I would only be *mildly* concerned if the other child received the nasal mist since it contains the live virus. Do you know whether the child got the injection or mist? I still don't think I would lose much sleep over it, especially since your breastfeeding. That is THE BEST protection for your LO.
A friend of mine has a 4 month old who just came down with H1N1, is exclusively breastfed, and recovered quickly. Just keep nursing, and try not to worry.
