Laura Anderson reveals terrifying health emergency with three month-old daughter Bonnie
LAURA Anderson has revealed how frightened she was after her baby daughter Bonnie fell ill in the middle of the night.
The Love Island star, 34, has told fans that Bonnie’s temperature shot up to 39C after she passed a nasty virus onto her.
Bonnie also vomited in the bath and first time mum Laura admitted she was ‘scared’ to see her little one so poorly.
Snuggled on the sofa and both in pyjamas, Laura told of her baby’s health woes on her Instagram Stories.
She explained that she almost called 111 in the middle of the night as she struggled to get an accurate reading on her thermometer.
“So Bonnie has caught mummy’s bug,” Laura told fans.
“She wouldn’t go to bed – but she never does – so I was like, “S***, what’s happening?’
“She had a temperature of 39C, so I was going to call 111. It’s scary, isn’t it?
“But then there’s so many different places you can take temperatures and it was all different numbers when I was doing it.”
Laura went on to explain that she decided to try and cool down Bonnie herself before resorting to help from the NHS.
“We just cooled her down and then she went back to sleep,” Laura said. “She was okay and had some milk eventually but we missed a feed yesterday.
“She’s been coughing and now I’ve given her some Calpol. So she’s not herself but she’s okay.”
Cuddling her little one next to her pet dog, Laura added: “She was sick in the bath as well, weren’t you, angel?
“Buddy’s helping us and is making us feel better.”
Laura welcomed Bonnie in September with Hollyoaks actor Gary Lucy.
The Scots-born star’s birth was traumatic and she was left battered and bruised following her daughter’s arrival.
Since becoming a mum, Laura has kept fans updated with the highs and lows of her new journey into parenthood.
Sadly, she hasn’t been able to avoid trolls though.
Laura fell victim to keyboard warriors after she filmed a makeup tutorial while holding newborn Bonnie on her shoulder.
She also came under fire by cruel mum-shamers last month during a holiday with her baby girl in Dubai.
Some fans accused Laura of letting the sun burn Bonnie’s delicate skin, but she soon hit back and warned critics about how they “deliver” their messages.
