MY BABY GOT HAND FOOT & MOUTH DISEASEā¦
This poor girl has been going through it! We were at the beach for 4th of July for almost a week and she started feeling bad literally the day after we got to the beach so the trip was rough š.
The 3 nights after she started feeling bad were THE hardest nights I have ever had with her and she has never been a great sleeper to begin with š. Poor baby felt so bad. I am so happy sheās finally seeming to feel a little better!!
I honestly have no clue how she got this because she doesnāt go to daycare or classes or anything and doesnāt really hangout with kids. We donāt even take her to the park right now because itās so hot and Iām scared sheās going to get burnt on something. The only thing I can think of is maybe she got it from a restaurant high chair which we usually sanitize but forgot our wipes a couple times š. So yeah safe to say Iāll be investing in a high chair cover!

Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease (HFMD) is a viral infection common among young children, characterized by fever, sore throat, and a distinctive rash on hands, feet, and sometimes in the mouth. Symptoms can include irritability, fatigue, and loss of appetite. Once diagnosed, it typically resolves in a week, but ensuring proper hygiene is crucial. Parents should thoroughly sanitize places where children sit, especially high chairs, to minimize the risk of transmission. Regular handwashing and avoiding crowded places during outbreaks also play a key role in prevention. In some cases, children may experience peeling nails weeks after recovery; this is considered a normal part of the healing process. By monitoring for early signs and staying informed, parents can effectively manage HFMD and support their child's recovery.
