Healthy Habits

  • Keep your baby from large groups of people or other sick children to minimize his exposure to infections.
  • Know signs of illness: fever (call your Pediatrician right away if your baby has a temp over 100.4 before he is 2-3 months old), decreased appetite, vomiting, irritability, and lethargy.

Passive Smoking

Children that are exposed to parents that smoke have been shown to have more problems with allergies and asthma, have higher rates of SIDS, and more ear and upper respiratory tract infections and it is therefore important to raise your child in a smoke free environment. See your doctor for tips/medicines to help you stop smoking. It is not enough to simply smoke outside or in another room from your baby.
