Millie Radford has revealed she spent Valentine's night in hospital with her youngest child.The 22 year old mum, who is part of the UK's biggest family the Radfords, shared with her followers that her nine-month-old daughter Elodie was really sick with coronavirus this week.The mum-of-three said that all her household were suffering with the virus, but Elodie was the "worst." Posting a picture of the baby sleeping in her arms, Millie said: "I can't believe how bad we've been wiped out with Covid.

Poor Elodie has been the worst - we spent our Valentine's night in hospital." This isn't the first time baby Elodie has been in hospital, after she suffered a respiratory syncytial virus, also known as RSV, in November 2023.

The illness is common in children but can be dangerous for newborns who are more fragile. Millie, who is mother Ophelia, 3, Chester, 1, and nine-month old Elodie, shared details of their illness-struggles with her followers, to highlight just how dangerous RSV it can be.

She revealed how RSV can be transmitted through tiny droplets in the air which come into contact with the mouth or nose. A child, or anyone, can become infected if someone with RSV coughs or sneezes near them.The virus also passes to others through direct contact, such as shaking hands or kissing.
