How to protect your child from coronavirus as much as possible?
1. Wash your baby's hands
Nowadays, the rule that a child must be in contact with dirt to develop immunity does not work. Even the smallest ones need to wash their hands as often as possible, then moisturize them with baby cream.
2. Disinfect all toys
Wash them often with soap. It is not worth treating with chemistry or alcohol - the child pulls everything into his mouth.
3. Do not let guests into the house
Quarantine and a pandemic is not the time for friends and family to visit looking for a child. If they themselves do not understand that they can infect him not only with the coronavirus, but also with ARVI (babies easily pick up everything), then defiantly cough into the telephone receiver.
This applies even to the closest grandparents. The less they contact people, the less they expose themselves to danger.4. Don't hang out with other moms
Walking with your baby on the street is pleasant and useful, he needs to breathe fresh air. At the same time, there should be no communication with neighbors or other parents and their children. Think of every stranger as a potential carrier of the virus.
5. Keep breastfeeding
Mother's milk strengthens the baby's immune system best of all. Even if you suspect you have a coronavirus or know for sure that you have been infected, do not stop breastfeeding.
This will probably give your baby antibodies and immunity against the disease. The main thing is to wear a mask and wash your hands well. If you are admitted to the hospital, continue pumping every 2-3 hours, transfer milk to your baby.
6. Keep clean
If the baby is artificially fed, then keep an eye on the cleanliness of the bottles and their elements. Wash your hands before preparing the mixture. Wash all nipples and bottles thoroughly.
