Chicken pox!
To any of you first time mums out there, I am here to assure you chicken pox is not as scary as it seems!!
Recently we have had the chicken pox in our house hold as baby Theo has just come out in them and I freaked when I first saw them as I had no idea what to do!
DONT PANIC
It’s actually better that he has them now instead of when he’s older so that he won’t be able to scratch
I went to the chemist and bought virasoothe and calamine lotion they are the best things for your baby’s spots to help with the itching and also tepid baths with baking soda make sure you keep their skin nice and moisturised as you don’t want them drying out and give them lots of cuddles and love
It’s massively important not to give them ibuprofen but calpol is perfect okay to give if they have a temperate
Theo had flu symptoms and was in hospital before his spots started coming out but thank fully hes still a perfect happy baby
