Newborn arrived on Saturday, toddler has Impetigo

[Mamaofdos]

Has anyone had experience of their toddler having impetigo and having a newborn? We just thought it was a sore under his nose but it is worse this morning and looks like it’s on his chest too! We have a five year old too. Just waiting to phone doctors at 8...

DS caught it at 3 months. He got antibiotics and was fine. We had a 3 year at the time to. She never caught it. But we cleaned everything the baby touched.

I would keep toddler away from newborn and spray everything touched with antibac spray. Also hand washing after any contact with toddler. Will be hard but only for a few days.

Thanks for the reassurance xx
