Hi all!

we are currently in Italy, we arrived on Friday. We had my daughter baptised with my partners family on Saturday morning. She has been quite restless and her cheeks have been flaming red! She did cut her first two teeth last night (she was so upset and in pain we gave her calpol). But she’s had a red rash on both cheeks for a few days too. It is definitely slap cheek. As we are going home tomorrow night does anyone have any advise on how to make her comfortable? She’s out of sorts anyway being out of her routine and seeing lots new family. She’s gone off her milk completely but Iv been trying her regularly with it to keep her hydrated.

TIA!

Maybe consider delaying flight home, parvovirus can be dangerous to pregnant women so if dd is still infectious you don’t want to risk spreading it.
