Oh Baby!

Did you know that there are things you can do to strengthen a young child's resistance to colds and flu, while limiting his or her exposure to really dangerous bugs? Here are some things you can do to baby your baby:

• Don't expose your baby to large groups of people. It's probably wise not to expose a newborn to the general public or crowds of people until she's 6 weeks old, especially in the winter months, when more viruses are going around. But don't worry too much about it. Going for a walk on a warm summer day isn't going to make your newborn sick.
• Be careful who holds your baby. Baby's underdeveloped immune systems make him prone to catching colds. It's the people who coochie-coo him or sneeze on him that get you into trouble. Exposure to people – and their germs – is what makes babies sick.
• Wash your hands often. Everyone should wash their hands before handling a newborn. Experts agree that regular hand washing is the best way to prevent the spread of illnesses, since viruses live on doorknobs and other objects we routinely touch.
