Chloe and Beau’s father Danny Flasher had been enjoying their exotic trip, when the tot flared up in a huge red mark on his face.

Sharing a snap of the sun kissed baby, Chloe expressed her mum guilt, penning, ‘My Beau blue eyes 💙 so excited to see you grow but at the same time want you to stay small forever.

All trial and error ! Don’t feel bad,’ added another.

It might have been heat rash I put sun cream on my 3 month old when abroad and she looked like she had chicken pox! It was allergic reaction to the sun because their skin is so sensitive, even in the shade she was covered bless her. Spent my whole holiday in the room with her with the air con. ❤️,’ a third chipped in.
