He just broke out with it this week. They think he became infected after I saw him last but nobody's really sure. Anybody know if I can pass it along to the baby without me actually getting it? I know there's nothing I can do about it now but I just want to try to be prepared for things.

Re: My nephew has coxsackie
I found this online:
Newborns, who can be infected from their mothers during or shortly after birth, are more at risk for developing serious infection, including myocarditis, hepatitis, and meningoencephalitis (an inflammation of the brain and meninges).
It looks like you would have to be infected to pass it on and it passes on during/after birth?
Very nasty little virus! Hope he feels better soon and this passes you and your little ones right by!

Re: My nephew has coxsackie
Adults rarely get Coxsackie and it will do no harm to the fetus. It is simply a virus that gives kids blisters in their mouth and a rash on their hands and feet.
