Coronavirus infection is very exciting for young mothers with babies. Many women worry about their children, because newborns have not yet gained immunity. Doctors recommend that moms adhere to these rules:
- It is necessary to observe personal hygiene: wash your hands yourself, wash your baby more often, treat the baby's palms, as well as his things, crib and toys, with an antiseptic.
- Do not touch the face of the child. Make sure that the baby does not touch his cheeks, does not rub his eyes. Wear special mittens for him.
- Sneezing or coughing, turn away from the child and hide behind a scarf.
- Do not forget to wear a mask on your face before each feeding.
- Try to limit contact with relatives. It is better not to seek help from grandmothers or older children. Your family may be carriers of the infection, even if they are apparently healthy.
- Try to avoid artificial mixtures and breastfeed your baby. In breast milk there are antibodies that increase the immunity of the baby. If you have to be treated in a hospital, you should express the milk and leave it to the child. If you do not have milk, you can find a female donor.
- Wash and sterilize bottles and dummies more often if the baby is breast-fed. Wash your hands thoroughly with soap before preparing the mixture.
- If you go to the store, buy diapers, napkins and other baby hygiene products for 2-3 weeks.
- Behave as calmly as possible, do not give in to panic. The kid perceives his mother's mood and begins to get nervous himself. Radiate positive and calm - this will contribute to the health and good mood of your crumbs.
The main thing - do not succumb to panic! In fact, all you have to do is maintain good hygiene and reduce any contact. Keep calm and hopefully in a few months we will be able to say goodbye to the coronavirus.
These simple tips will help you protect you and your baby from becoming infected, because the main thing is a positive attitude and preventive measures.
