Modern medicine has stepped away to examine their children's immunity. But in the minds of many parents continue to sit tight prejudices about health that have nothing to do with the evidence-practice physicians.
From which myths and beliefs as soon as possible should get rid of all the parents who dream of a healthy child - read on. Here is the top 5 myths about children's immunity.
1. In newborns there is no immunity, so they must be kept in sterile

Of course, the cleanliness and hygiene has not been canceled. But kvartsevat kid's room and manic monitor the sterility just not worth it. As it is not necessary to avoid walking or visiting public places. Full-term healthy babies do not need to be sterile, as excessive cleanliness prevents us from obtaining child antigenic load, which generates an immune memory.
2. Tempered useful for children's immunity
Hardening - it is always stressful for any organism. Yes, it "pumps" the cardiovascular system, making the body more resilient. But there is no evidence that the dousing with cold water, for example, will protect your child from disease.
3. Some children have a stronger immune system, and some are prone to disease
Propensity to disease suggests that the environment in which the child grows not become a barrier to viruses and infections. This is especially true of SARS or influenza. But the assertion that there is an innate tendency to disease, lacked a scientific basis.
4. All children have worms and should be preventively "poison"

Fighting worms carried out only under the supervision and advice of doctors. And to begin its own and does not need preventively. "Grass" worms need to know what they are, what they are and what drugs to get rid of them. Regimen can only appoint a doctor.
5. General blood test can give a complete picture of the child's immunity
It can detect the signals and the problems of individual indicators of the immune system. But certainly not be a clear guide to action. Since the child's immune system is working not only with the help of blood cells, but also by other cells and proteins existing in all organs and tissues.
