  Recommended Vaccines for Infants

  🩹 COVID-19 and flu vaccines are safe and recommended for children 6 months and older, with rare exception. 👶🏼 Babies who are newborns and less than one month old should receive an RSV immunization to protect them against severe RSV disease. This dose should be given within a baby’s first week. 🦠 Hepatitis B is an infectious and potentially serious disease that can cause liver damage and liver cancer. There is no cure for hepatitis B. Mothers can unknowingly pass the hepatitis B virus to their babies at birth, which is why babies should get their first dose within 24 hours of birth. 💉 It is recommended for infants to receive a round of vaccinations at one to two months old; four months old; six months old; and between 12 and 23 months of age. ➡ CDC's child and adolescent immunization schedule by age: https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/hcp/imz-schedules/child-adolescent-age.html

  Recommended Vaccines for Pregnant People

  Did you know a baby can get some disease protection from their mom during pregnancy? Getting flu, TDaP, RSV, and COVID-19 vaccines while you’re pregnant helps your body create protective antibodies (proteins produced by the body to fight off diseases), and you can pass on those antibodies to your baby. Keep in mind that many diseases rarely seen in the United States are still common in other parts of the world. Talk to your OB/GYN or midwife about vaccines if you are planning international travel during your pregnancy.

  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.

  Treatment for Kids and Babies

  📞 Call your doctor right away if your baby is less than two months old and has a fever; has a fever of 100.4 degrees or higher lasting more than three days; has labored breathing, including wheezing, fast breathing or shortness of breath; is dehydrated (e.g., has fewer wet diapers) along with not eating or drinking; and/or feels constant ear pain. 🏥 Visit the emergency department if your baby is less than 28 days old with a fever of 100.4 degrees or more; has severe difficulty breathing; is showing significant changes in their mental state like decreased activity and alertness; and/or cheeks, lips, tongue and inside of mouth appear bluish, indicating your child may have low oxygen. 👶🏾 If your baby is sick, be sure they get plenty of rest and stay hydrated. If your baby is breastfeeding, continue to nurse frequently. For formula-fed babies, offer formula as usual. If your baby is over six months old, you can offer small sips of water. ❗ Watch for signs of dehydration like a dry or sticky mouth, little to no tears when crying, fewer than six wet diapers per day or a sunken soft spot on the baby’s head. If you spot any of these signs, call your doctor. 💦 Use a cool-mist humidifier in your baby’s room to help ease congestion and make breathing more comfortable. Make sure to clean the humidifier frequently to prevent mold from forming. ✔ If the baby’s nose is blocked with mucus, put a few drops of saline (salt water) into their nose and then gently suction the mucus out with a bulb syringe.
