The info-graphic noted that RSV is transmitted - in a "similar way to colds of the flu, either by breathing in tiny droplets in the air of by the virus getting in contact with the mouth or nose, for example by touch". The details also warned that the virus can survive on surfaces for hours - remaining contagious.
Earlier this year, Millie lashed out at her parents Noel and Sue to slam them for taking some of their grandchildren on holiday to Florida. They grandparents record their lives and make videos about being the biggest family in the UK on YouTube - and have had a Channel 5 show in the past.
Mille accused her parents of snubbing her children fro the trip - and also of making money from their grandchildren. Lashing out online, she wrote: Cute? But you've made money from all your grandchildren but choose your favourites. Said my piece." She also wrote: "I recall my kids being in the whole 22 Kids and Counting - not a single sight viewing of the rest in there… Bare 1 ep."
Millie has previously praised being raised as one of 22 siblings - saying it prepared her for motherhood. She told The Sun: “I’ve changed more nappies than I can count and I am an expert at getting squirmy babies into tiny clothes. I have had a lot of practice. I started helping Mum with the babies when I was around eight years old — changing them, bathing them and feeding them.
"My older siblings did it for me, and it’s just how our family works. I don’t know how they did it, but I also spent quite a bit of one-on-one time with my parents, too.”
