Take Care of Your Baby in the Winter
Winter can be a challenging season for a new baby. Colder temperatures and reduced sunlight can interrupt a Ìð¹ÏÊÓƵ’s routine. Here are a few tips to keep your little one healthy this winter.
- Vaccinate Your Baby. Influenza can be dangerous, and the flu vaccine is your best defense.
- No Smoking. Second-hand smoke can greatly compromise a Ìð¹ÏÊÓƵ’s breathing and immune system.
- Dress Baby in Warm Clothes. Protect their young skin against the cold. Make sure they have a hat and mittens, since these areas of the body can get cold quickly.
- Breastfeed. Brest milk helps babies stay healthy and improves their immunity.
- Hydrate. Make sure your baby drinks plenty of breast milk, formula, or water.
- Let Them Play. Sure, there are lots of germs out there, but babies need to play and socialize with other humans.
