My daughter has come home from her dad’s with a high temperature, snotty and the WORST cough. I am so upset (obviously it’s not nice to see her suffering) but I fly on holiday Saturday for my honeymoon.

A bit of a cold isn’t a concern, but a horrible hacking cough isn’t what one wants in Mauritius 😭😭

How do I not catch it?! She’s only a toddler. I’m doomed.

Sleep with your bedroom window open.

I haven’t had a cold or cough for years and years. This is the only behaviour of mine I can attribute it to as I’m not remotely fastidious about hand washing and I’m often around people with colds.

Up your Vit C, whether tablets or fresh orange juice, and early nights

The only way is to keep her in her room and bring meals to leave outside the door and she will have to use a separate bathroom if you have one

Ummm … did you miss the bit about her being a toddler?
