Can I help prevent my baby from getting colds?
Breastfeeding is one of the best ways to protect your baby's health. It passes your antibodies, chemicals in your blood that fight infections, to your baby. This isn't a foolproof way to protect your baby's health, but breastfed babies are better at fending off colds and other infections.
You can also protect your baby by trying to keep him away from anyone with a cough or a cold. Or ask them to wash their hands thoroughly before handling your baby or his things.
If you or your partner smokes, give it up, and don’t take your baby to areas where people are smoking. Babies who live with smokers have more colds, and their colds last longer than babies who aren't exposed to smoke.
Extracted from baby centre.
He asked me why Charis fall sick every mth when she is not in childcare. I found the answer when I was trying to find out more on cough and asthma for gregory. Bcos I didn't breastfeed Charis long enough and we have a smoker at home!
