'Made in Chelsea' star Tiffany Watson has warned parents about the risks of RSV (Respiratory syncytial virus) this winter - after her baby boy was rushed to hospital at the weekend.
Tiffany Watson has warned of the dangerous of the winter virus
The 30-year-old reality star's newborn son Jude, who she welcomed into the world with her husband Cameron McGeehan in June, was treated for the nasty infection that can be particularly dangerous for the young and elderly.
Tiffany warned people not to kiss or touch babies in the winter months to avoid passing on the virus after spending the night in the Children's Emergency Department on Saturday (18.11.23).
She wrote on her Instagram Stories: "Sadly we ended up here last night. Jude is not very well but we are back home now and having lots of cuddles.
"It’s so hard seeing your baby in pain and sad. I also am running on empty but you literally don’t even think about yourself when it comes to your babies health. Winter season has well and truly hit."
Warning her followers of the dangerous, she continued:: "It’s RSV season and this is your friendly reminder, to NOT KISS babies and toddlers on the hands or faces if they aren’t your child. Even if you are immediate family. This is not about you. This is about protecting children from becoming seriously sick."
She added: "A reminder of this. When people look at you like you’re being ott or “it’s good for their immune system” I used to be the same pre having him and now I get it and seeing other babies seriously sick in a and e last night was a huge wake up call to me.
"I don’t care if I offend people anymore his health is priority and if people can’t respect your rules for your baby. (sic)"
Tiffany later thanked well-wishers for their kind messages.
She wrote alongside a picture of her in bed cuddling the little one as he slept: "Thank you for everyone's kind words. Lots of sleeping on me going on and hopefully he will be back to himself soon."
