Mother's cold
My mother in law doesn't allow me to roam outside stating that I should not go outside in the evening if it's cold. If I catch cold, my baby will also get it. I believe there is no logic in it. Please confirm.

Usually it is like when any upper respiratory tract infection usually spread via droplets ,so if you get cold and it may spread to your baby also if it is of infection .and especially in winter season bacteria or virus will stay in environment for long time so it will better to take precautions as such wearing mask and cleaning your hands.
