LO woke up with a 101 fever and I noticed these spots on his legs- thigh and around the bend of knees- right around some patches of eczema.
Think we are gearing up for HFM?
-
It a possible. J had a rash on his legs too! I'd keep an eye out for more blisters. I'm so sorry your baby isn't well
-
This is what my lo's hfm looked like. Very mild. Hopefully it won't get much worse than this!
-
Going to vote yes
-
Really hoping it's not! His two canines just broke through and a fever is typical for him when that happens. I was hopeful that the bump were eczema related since they are near some rough patches but will keep an eye out.
Dumb question- can DH and I catch it? Because J definetly just "brushed my teeth" with his toothbrush
-
@coacheswife123: Yes, you can certainly catch it. It's very contagious. DH caught it last year when LO had it, but I came through it unscathed. LO's case was very mild, DH not so much.
-
@coacheswife123: That's how my LOs HFM looked at first but she has sensitive skin and sometimes she just gets spots like that.
I share stuff with LO and get most of her colds but didn't catch HFM. Best of luck!
-
Yes.
I hope it clears up soon!
-
That's Exactly how D's was. Sorry
-
That's how it looked for my LO, too. Only a few spots on the legs, one or two came on the arms later, but non on the hands or feet. He also had a bad diaper rash and got a couple of painful mouth ulcers, so watch out for those.
-
That's how E's was, plus some on his arms around his wrists.
It is contagious, but neither of us caught it when E had it.
Poor baby, poor mama

I think y'all were right ! His spots have gotten a little bigger and look "angry" . More red and blistered
he was a major lap baby all day and took 2 naps. After his second nap his fever broke and he's been more normal. I was able to get him to eat a bowl of oatmeal - his only real meal today. I'm hoping he rests tonight and that we had a mild case ! How do I know if he can go to MDO Tuesday? Call and see what their policy is ? If he is bump free are we good to go? And should I lotion him (I usually do before bed) or skip it ?
