We all know that viruses and bacteria are commonplace in our world. We all know too that there are ways to preventing these ‘yuckies’ from infecting us, especially our little ones.
Here are a few obvious ways:
- Eating healthy and clean
- Washing one’s hands before and after eating
- Washing one’s hands before and after using the toilet
- Washing one’s hands after playing with pets or animals
- Making sure that food is thoroughly cooked before eating it
- Making sure that that food is not past its expiry date
- Ensuring you take the enough vitamins and nutrients daily
- Ensuring high traffic items are cleaned regularly
- Staying clear of anyone that is sick
- With babies, ensuring you wash your hands before feeding them and after changing their diapers
- Washing their hands regularly too because they are constantly touching things and putting them in their mouths
But did you know that viruses and bacteria can linger in the air we breathe, no matter how careful we are? What can one do about this? Invest in a Humidifier for baby, or more specifically for baby’s nursery. Even go the step further and have one in every room.
