When Lucy became ill with the classic symptoms of coronavirus, she realised Albie had the virus too, they both tested positive. Lucy had to look after Albie when she was very ill herself with a high temperature.
Although it is very rare for babies to become very unwell with the disease, Doctors are supporting Jade's appeal for parents to look out for the following symptoms:
Being unsettled
Not eating and drinking as usual
Not enough wet nappies
Sleeping more than usual or being lethargic
Albie has now recovered and getting ready for his first Birthday.
