@Brittany yeah doc said pretty much exactly this and to keep her skin moisturized. she already has eczema so she said to apply some hydrocortisone if needed as if she was having a bad breakout ☹️
@Sandy thank you! and yes we are making sure to go behind her (and us) with disinfectant just to be on the safe side, hopefully it passes soon 😩
By the way ur LO is a cutie!!
There’s not much you can do even when they are old enough. Just make sure wtv u touch is disinfected because it is contagious and if you have another little one at home just be careful. It will go away with time. Oat bath to sooth and Tylenol if fever or if she’s uncomfortable. She will get better! 💜
My oldest daughter had it when she was 3 months old .. all that really helped was cuddles with me and some Tylenol she hated baths when she had it
Oat bath helps sooth it sometimes
My 1 yo had it about a month ago. He was covered head to toe. Even had it on his genitals 😓 Because he had the blisters in his mouth and throat, he didn't want to eat. All I could do was breastfeed when he was willing, keep calpol topped up and feed him cold yoghurt/ice cream and the smooth baby food pouches. Poor little man started to improve after around 10 days. We used calamine lotion for his spots as originally I thought it was chicken pox. He seemed to respond well to that. He also liked luke warm baths.
