Winter brings cold temperatures, dry air, and an increased risk of illnesses, making it a critical time to focus on your baby’s health. Babies are especially vulnerable due to their developing immune systems. At Thakur Hospital, Karnal, we’re here to help you navigate these challenges and keep your baby safe and healthy.
Why Are Babies at Risk During Winter?
- Weakened Immunity: Cold weather can reduce your baby’s ability to fight infections.
- Lower Vitamin D Levels: Less exposure to sunlight can impact your baby’s overall health.
- Increased Germ Spread: Spending more time indoors facilitates the rapid spread of viruses.
- Dry Air Issues: Winter air can irritate the respiratory tract, leading to coughs and colds.
Common Winter Illnesses to Watch For
- Rhinovirus (Common Cold): A frequent cause of runny nose and congestion.
- Flu Viruses: Can cause fever, chills, and fatigue.
- Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV): Often leads to breathing difficulties in young children.
Simple Steps to Keep Your Baby Healthy
- Practice Hygiene: Wash hands before handling your baby to prevent germ transfer.
- Dress in Layers: Use warm, breathable clothing to maintain comfort.
- Stay Hydrated: Ensure adequate fluids with breastmilk, formula, or water.
- Watch for Warning Signs: Seek medical attention for persistent fever, severe coughing, or breathing difficulties.
