Baby Hygiene

Question by :
worried out of my mind about my daugher and what i should do help!?
so i have been with my boyfreind for over a year and have been absolutely faithful the whole time and he swears he has too so unless one of us had it before our relationship and didnt know it idk how i would have it. but that is no longer important to me since i have gotten treated and my docter says im clear of it. i found out i had it because i am pregnant with my second child and at my 1st docters appointment my docter tested me for everything and said i had chlamydia and gave me a prescription. but what im worried about is i also have a 2 year old daughter and am worried about her because shes who i spend the most time with. i heard you can spread chlamydia through the eye but idk and she shares food and drink with me cuz shes my little girl. but also we share baths together which a lot of moms do with their babies or toddlers .
i am a single mother never had any help or anyone to give me a break to shower or rest when she was an infant first i would sit her in her baby chair in the lavatory while i showered but she’d cry her head off so my mother recommended taking her in with me just holding her. i did that but then my hands would get slippery trying to hold her and they were full so i couldnt wash myself so i began putting her in her infant tub while i showered. soon the shower would bother her so i switched to baths until she was about 1 and id wait till she slept to shower which i could do before because as an infant she didnt sleep long and any time she did i had to or else id never get any sleep. but now she just turned 2 and i wait till she sleeps to shower but occasionally shell want me 2 come in with her and i would. until recently when i found i i contracted chlamydia which i dont know how its possible. so i dont bath with her even though it was occasional but im afraid that the times i did when i didnt know anything was wrong with me she could have contracted it.
some say it can only be spread through sexual contact besides the eye. but if we shared bathwater couldnt the water carry it from me to her? were speaking about bathwater so the disease could just be sitting in there and then were both sitting in there. i want to make sure she doesnt have it i want my baby to be healthy and be able to have children in the future so i dont want to ignore it like oh she cant have it you can only get it from sexual contact. because what if she might from the shared baths and spending so much time together.
im worried about telling her docter because i heard theyd immediantly rule it out as sexual abuse which is in no way possible i havnt let anyone near my babygirl not even my boyfreind for even a second and we dont live together so it is impossible and hes not that type of person anyway. how do i ask to get my daughter tested without them calling DSS or thinking someones abusing her which is not the case i am always with her and would never let anything happen to her.if it is true that you can only get it strictly from sexual contact then she does not have it but what about the shared bathwater when i had chlamydia and hadnt noticed until i became pregnant and went to my first appointment, and was with her all the time, and cleaned the crust from her eyes with my hands? i just want to make sure she is okay.
i feel guilty and i dont wanna rule it out if she did because what if she has it growing up for many years and dont know and me thinking she couldnt possibly. what do i do? could she have gotten that way? and how do i speak about it with my docter or even her docter? i just want everything to be gone and treated? when i first found out i felt dirty and like a diagnosis even tho i was faithful, i was afraid that if i even touched someone they would get it. but im treated now and protecteing myself always. but what about my 2 year old? help what do you think.
