Been house sitting for a week or so and looking after a neighbour's cat. A few days ago we relocated to the lounge because of the heat - my baby in her sleepy head on the floor and me on the sofa. Noticed some bits on my ankles but thought nothing of it...
Well, today I saw a black fleck on my daughter's face. Went to brush it off and it jumped!!! Since spotted all over my slippers (now in the bin!!) on her play mat (also on lounge floor) and on her changing mat (upstairs bedroom). We have loads of stuff here including duvets, towels, clothes, her toys (some fabric) her sleepy head (which cost a bomb, even 2nd hand!). How do I make sure there are no eggs in any of these things? We are due to move back in 2 days and I want to make sure we don't transfer them to our own house! Already come back to.our house for her nap today as I don't want the fleas on her, poor thing. :( Not sure if that was a good idea though..? Left our clothes at the door and I put on new ones - hopefully that is good enough. Would they lay eggs on our clothes??
What treatment can we use that is safe for a baby and can she be there while I treat the stuff? My mum is away and my husband at work, so I'm a bit stuck how to approach this. Any help/advice gratefully received!!
Itchy just thinking about it!!
