You baby will get sick at some point and time and it will be so sad and that feeling will never go away. You will wish that you could just take it from them and give it to yourself. What makes it worse is that they cannot tell you when something is wrong with them but there are ways to tell. By a few months they will already have a personality. Some kids are not energetic normally while others like mine are spastic and have tons of energy. I could tell my little bug was sick when he was getting really cranky. He had been teething so that made him a little cranky but I would give him some orajel and he would calm down. A few weeks ago he just got extremely cranky and then I noticed he was coughing more than usual and had a slight bit of wheezing going on. So I took him to the doctors and they said he has Bronchitis. I felt so bad for him I had to give him to oral medications and two inhalants that I have to put in a nebulizer. If you suspect they are sick never hesitate to call your pediatrician and make an appointment. They had told me if I left it untreated it would have gotten much worse.

You cannot always prevent your little bundle of joy from getting sick but you can do things to prevent it. Make sure people wash their hands before handling them even when they are older. Most people do this a lot when you first bring them home but you should continue to do so in the ongoing months. You should try to limit taking your child to the mall because they are filled with tons of germs. The reason malls are worse than just one store is because there is one filter system for all the stores and there are no exits to the outside and no windows for air flow. If you do want to take a walk around the mall the best time of day to do so is early on while other kids are still in school since they carry the most germs.

Another thing to prevent colds or asthma from occurring in the winter is to check your filters in the house. A lot of people do not think about filters because we don’t see them. It is the whole out of site out of mind concept. But cleaning your filters will help keep more dust particles out of the air and make your house less stuffy.

Well I hope this helps a little when it comes to your baby getting sick. Stay tuned for more posts. J
