Healthy Infants and Children

Babies are born with immune systems that can fight most germs, but some germs cause serious or even deadly diseases a baby can’t handle. 🧼 Ask guests who have been sick to hold off on visiting until they no longer have symptoms and have been fever-free (without using a fever-reducing medication) for at least 24 hours. Make sure anyone who wants to hold your baby washes their hands beforehand. ✔ Keep an alcohol-based hand sanitizer on hand for times when you cannot wash your hands at a sink. 🏡 Circulate the air in your home. 🤱🏾 According to the CDC, breastfeeding can protect babies from ear infections and stomach bugs. So, if you can breastfeed, continue to do so while a baby is ill to give them extra antibodies and boost their immune system. 🚫 Don’t delay or skip your baby’s vaccines. Following the vaccine schedule from the CDC is the best way to prevent illnesses like measles, meningitis, and chickenpox.
