Everywhere germs. Every mother wants her child was healthy. But where is the line between taking care of the hygiene, care and an obsessive fear of contamination? In other words, how to protect your child from germs and not go crazy? It decided to find Anastasia Halesova.
No need to desinfiziert bought in a children's store toys. Enough to wash them manually.No need to desinfiziert bought in a children's store toys. Enough to wash them manually.
Doctors claim that panic fear of germs is not worth it. First, they are not only harmful, but useful. And secondly, to avoid contact with germs will not succeed. The child first encounters with them even before birth, or rather when passing through the birth canal of the mother. Bacteria from the woman's body settled on the baby's skin, his eyes, in the cavity of his mouth, and then penetrate into the intestine. If a woman is healthy, it is a "contamination" of the child is not hurt. On the contrary, the function of all these aliens to protect the newborn from disease, to help him digest food, absorb vitamins, etc.
Of course, in medical institutions, and even at home crumbs have a chance to get acquainted with microorganisms of concern. But his immune system has to train, and this is only possible if from time to time she will come across these or other "enemies".
What should build relationships with microbes
: it is not necessary
Disinfect toys. If the toy is soft, with a note "for children up to 6 months", and was bought in a children's store, then it should only be washed in a washing machine or by hand. Use this special baby powder. There is less chemical substances that can cause allergies and irritation. After washing, it would be good to iron plush toy iron - in a word, to do the same manipulation that and with the new baby clothes. Plastic toys simply wash with soap and water. If they will remain some microbes, they will provide the necessary training for the immunity of the child.
Boil the linen. If the baby is healthy, the need for this. Romper, bodysuit, tights, shirts and blouses enough to be washed and ironed. The need for boiling or washing at 90 ° C occurs only when the child or intestinal viral infection or worms.
Licking a pacifier if your baby will drop her at home or on the street. From germs you so don't get rid of, but the pathogenic microflora with the baby share.
There is a child from the same plate or a spoon, especially if the baby is less than a year. Remember that is transmitted through saliva not only respiratory diseases, but also pathogenic flora, such as Staphylococcus.
To feed the child on the street. Wash hands nowhere, but the kid probably already has soiled them.
To panic if your child has chewed a piece of paper or have a SIP of water from the tray in which it is bathed. All this can be considered a workout for immunity.
As in the lab
Elena Kravetz, pediatrician:
A child's immune system is most vulnerable in the first two months of his life. Therefore, at this time, the circle of the baby it is necessary to restrict the closest people - those with whom he lives. Don't be afraid to offend the rest of rejection. While the intruders would have to wash my hands and toddler show from afar.
Caring for the health and purity of the baby, it is important to learn how to save energy, and most importantly, the nerves. Remember that every family has its own microflora are those bacteria that peacefully coexist with mom, dad and children. Baby, getting from the hospital to the apartment and communicating with parents, gradually adapts to these microorganisms, and they are safe for him. Studies show that the toddler living in almost sterile flats, are more likely to suffer from allergic diseases than children who from an early age creep around the house and daily contact with "mud". The reason is very simple. If the immune system has nothing to do, she begins to look for a job and declares war allergens - substances that in a healthy person is not considered dangerous.
What should build relationships with microbes
:ADO
Teach children to wash their hands.
As usually happens, the infection? Baby fingers toys that were lying on the floor or on the ground, talking with friends, clutching his furniture in the café, and then puts his fingers in his mouth, rubs their eyes or nose. Ready! This method is most commonly spread of respiratory and enteric infections. The child should know that hands must be washed before and after each visit to the toilet, before eating and after street.
Lather your hands should be no less than 10 seconds. During this time, you can manage to mentally sing the verse of your favorite song. Studies show that ten seconds washing your hands with soap and water, though not kill all the bacteria, but it definitely allows you to remove them from the skin. This means that the risk of infection is greatly reduced.
To use the special hygiene products for children. They do not contain fragrances and substances that can cause allergies. Almost all moms know that to undermine the child should be from front to back that need to be processed baby oil natural folds on the body of the baby, but often forget to pay attention to the infant's mouth. Even if it does not yet have teeth, but the bacteria in the mouth are. To delete them, use special baby wipes for the mouth, which are sold in pharmacies.
To ensure that the child has not reached the cat box. Pets are the main carriers of germs. Especially dangerous for the child faeces of cats and dogs.
Regular cleaning in the apartment, pay special attention to "dangerous zones": the toilet, the bathroom, the kitchen and the hallway.
To isolate the sick child. If your family several children and one of them is ill, we shall move on a little patient in a separate room, so that he did not communicate with the others. Disinfect his toys, wash and Tutuila clothes. If a baby has diarrhea or vomiting, his diaper will not just washed, but also to boil. Most bacteria are killed at a temperature of 100 degrees, and the effects of this temperature should be long, at least 15 minutes. Wash dishes sick child last.
To be vaccinated. Check the calendar compulsory vaccination: perhaps some vaccinations the child has not yet been made. Remember, vaccination is very important for the immune system of the baby.
Call the doctor if your child has a fever. Perhaps nothing terrible happened: the baby cut teeth or he responds to the vaccine. But all will be easier if the baby as soon as possible will be examined by a doctor to eliminate the possibility of an infectious disease.
Can a child with a cold send in the kindergarten or school?
Elena Kravetz, pediatrician:
If the child has a cold, of course, it is better for him not to go, and to receive medical treatment at least three days. First, a sick kid hardly perceives information, so benefit from training will not be. And secondly, his body is weak and cannot resist dangerous microbes faced daily at home. Yes and the risk of infecting other children too large. In addition, it should be remembered that a runny nose is one of the first symptoms is not only banal respiratory, and meningococcal infection. So, if you have the opportunity to leave the child at home and watch his health, it's best to do.
Note:
Microflora of the child will be formed to 14 years. During this period it is very important that the ratio of good and bad bacteria in the body of the child was optimal. If the child is unstable stool, frequent skin rashes, bad mood and unpleasant sensations in the stomach, is to hand over analyses on a dysbacteriosis. The doctor will determine what kind of bacteria in a child's body is not enough and what is too much, and prescribe corrective treatment.
