Many babies have weak body resistance, which requires our careful care. So, how can we make babies less likely to get sick?

How to keep your baby from getting sick

1. During breastfeeding, it is best for mothers to eat more walnuts and sesame seeds, which can be fed to the baby through milk to make the baby smart and healthy.

2. Feed only milk within three months (do not add juice within four months of pure breastfeeding). 3. Do not drink water deliberately within four months of pure breastfeeding, just give some water after drinking milk as a mouthwash. Do not drink too much water within 6 months, because both breast milk and formula contain a lot of water, drinking too much water will increase the burden on the child's liver and kidneys.

4. It is best to drink milk after the age of 2, and yogurt can be eaten before the age of 2. Skim milk is healthier for children than whole milk.

5. Do not add salt within ten months and do not drink honey within one year old.

6. The amount of salt consumed by children under three years old is 1/5 to 1/3 of that consumed by adults. Eating too much salt will lead to calcium loss.

7. Dad’s bad mood will increase the baby’s crying by 20%.

8. Height is inherited from the father, and body shape is inherited from the mother.

9. When a father takes care of a child, the child has a high IQ; when a mother takes care of a child, the child has good academic performance. (Children with low IQs have to work harder to do well in their studies).

10. It is best to stop wearing open-crotch pants no later than one and a half years old. Urinary tract infection can also cause fever, and if not treated in time, it can lead to infectious nephritis.

How to prevent your baby from contracting infectious diseases

1. Wash your hands before eating

Hands are always in motion. Especially for young children, who love to touch and play with dirt, their hands are bound to be stained with various bacteria, especially after playing games, returning from outdoor activities, or touching carpets and other household decorations that are contaminated with mites. If you do not wash your hands with soap before eating, it is easy for bacteria to be swallowed into the stomach with food and become sick. Therefore, you must wash your hands with soap or mild hand sanitizer before eating.

2. Wash your hands after going to the toilet

Many germs are transmitted through feces, especially intestinal infectious diseases such as dysentery, gastroenteritis, hepatitis, ascariasis, pinworms, etc. These germs are highly contagious. If you do not wash your hands with soap after defecation and then pick up toys, food or touch other things, the germs will be transferred to these things, forming a new source of infection, which will not only cause repeated infections in children themselves, but also spread to other people, causing the disease to spread rapidly. Therefore, young children must wash their hands with soap after urinating and defecating. Parents should especially supervise young children.

3. Don’t let children suck their fingers

Sucking fingers is a common habit among children. Statistics show that 90% of infants have the behavior of sucking fingers, especially when children are teething. This is a normal phenomenon. Generally speaking, after children reach 2 to 3 years old, this phenomenon of sucking fingers will disappear naturally. However, if children still suck their fingers frequently after this age, it is an abnormal phenomenon. It is not only easy to cause psychomotor dysfunction in children, but also very easy to spread diseases. Parents should correct their children's bad habits by continuously applying some water or vinegar soaked in coptis powder that is not easy to wash off on their children's fingers, so that children can gradually correct the habit of sucking fingers because of the bitter taste. At the same time, parents should not forget to cut their children's nails short regularly.

4. Wash your hands after reading

Books often contain a lot of bacteria. When children read these books, they will inevitably get bacteria on their hands. If they do not pay attention to hygiene and do not wash their hands after reading, they may get sick and their health will be damaged. In order to cultivate children's good habit of washing hands after reading, the best way to guide them is for parents to set an example and wash hands with their children.

5. Wash your hands after returning from public places

When parents take their children to crowded public places, such as shopping malls, amusement parks, hospitals, etc., they should pay special attention to protection and educate their children not to touch or move things randomly. After returning home, both adults and children should wash their hands to reduce the possibility of cross-infection with crowded people and prevent germs from infecting children through hand contact.

What to do if your baby has a cold

1. You must drink plenty of water. Water is the source of life, especially for babies. However, many babies don't like to drink water. This requires adults to develop a habit of drinking water for them. Water can replenish the minerals needed by the body and can also detoxify. You must develop a habit of letting your baby drink water regularly. Never let your baby develop a habit of drinking beverages.

2. Cover the quilt at night. Many babies love to kick the quilt when they sleep at night, and some babies like to roll over. Therefore, parents must pay attention to adjusting the indoor temperature and the thickness of the quilt. Babies are actually more cold-resistant than adults, so don't choose a quilt that is too thick, it's best to choose a light one.

3. Avoid crowded places. Winter is the season for the spread of various respiratory diseases, so try to avoid taking your baby to crowded places. Crowded places have poor air circulation, and respiratory diseases are transmitted by droplets, and the speed of transmission is very fast, so try to avoid crowded places during the flu season.

4. Pay attention to the outdoor temperature and prevent colds. In many places, winter is very cold, but there are heating equipment at home, which causes a large temperature difference between indoors and outdoors, which is also a reason why babies are prone to illness. Therefore, when the weather is very cold, do not take your baby out.

5. Get more sun and exercise. You can take your child out to get some sun when the weather is good, or you can do some exercise under the sun, because exercise can enhance resistance and immunity and improve physical fitness.

How to enhance your baby's immunity

1. Nutritional supplement

If the baby is malnourished, it is difficult for him to have a strong resistance. Therefore, parents should pay attention to supplement the baby with important nutrients needed for human growth, such as protein, fat, zinc, iron and vitamins.

2. Physical Exercise

Whether it is spring, summer, autumn or winter, proper physical exercise is always beneficial. Going outdoors to sunbathe or taking a walk with your parents are both good ways to exercise, which can not only breathe fresh air but also strengthen your physical fitness.

3. Get enough sleep

If the sleep time is insufficient, the number of T cells in the body that fight diseases will decrease, making it easier to get sick. Therefore, babies should try to maintain eight to ten hours of sleep every day.

4. Use medication with caution

It is best to use less antibiotics. Some parents think that babies need to be given IV drips and medicines when they are sick, but this is actually very unscientific. Some minor illnesses such as colds can be overcome through parental care, diet therapy and the baby's own antibodies. If antibiotics are always used, it is easy to cause a decrease in the number of T cells in the baby's body and a lack of vitality. When the doctor prescribes antibiotics for the baby, the baby must follow the doctor's instructions to take the medicine and cannot decide the dosage and time of medication on his own.

5. Vaccination

Vaccines help to enhance resistance to bacteria and viruses, and can also create immune groups. Parents should pay attention to vaccinating their babies on time, for example, the flu vaccine can be given after the baby is six months old.
