How to handle siblings?

I have a 3 yr old who is in love with his baby sister. Problem is he's had a cold for almost 3 weeks! (Which is how old she is) I try to keep him away from her but I feel terrible constantly telling him to stay away. I make sure he constantly uses germ-x but he has a horrible addiction to picking his nose, and he's always breathing on her. This morning she woke up with gunk in her eye and sneezing. Now Im terrified she's getting sick!! What do I do? I feel terrible for both of them! Im so paranoid.

    If one gets it the other will too. There are some nasty virus' going around tgis year. Scary w a 3 week old. Just keep a close eye on her (which im sure u already r). Good luck. It stinks when ur kids all get sick and even worse if u get it too all at the same time.

    Tell him his job is take take care of her feet and only her feet! Like make sure their not cold and little things like that. He will feel important and it keeps him outta her face!

    I was actually sick with some kind of chest cold the second I got out of the hospital. I had the absolute worst cough and chest congestion. I got over mine but it seems my son still hasn't. I figured it was a simple cold and was letting it run its course. Now Im getting very concerned, especially for baby. Im not a fan of having a winter baby!!
