In a post to her Instagram Story on Wednesday, August 10, the star wrote, 'None of my other kids have ever had hand, foot, mouth, so I've never seen it before and that looks awful, and I haven't been able to be with her all day because I'm at work.' 

'I love my job so much,' she continued, 'but this is just a little shoutout to working parents who have to leave their kids in times that don't feel natural, and it kind of goes against everything in your body to not be with them in times like that.'

The Younger alum then offered reassurance to others in her position, 'You're doing a good job, just like I know I'm doing a good job in working hard for my family.'

'But poor little baby! All of this feels so weird, to not be with her.'

The Centers for Disease Control reports that HFMD is common in children five and younger. 

It is a contact disease, which can be spread by hugging or kissing an infected person. The infection can also be spread from changing diapers and wiping noses. 

It is most common in the summer and fall, and it usually clears up within seven to 10 days. 

Adults can contract the virus as well, but often don't show any symptoms, which allows them to pass it on unknowingly to others.
