Kids get sick all the time. But the winter months are especially troublesome. As soon as they are born, our little babies are bombarded with all sorts of viruses and bacteria. Their immune systems are developing and as they get older their immune system will be ready to recognize and fight the intruders better. Until that day comes we will get more and more grey hairs. As parents we try anything to keep our kids healthy. From proper nutrition, supplements, probiotics, vaccines. We’ll even sterilize ourselves with Purell and wear masks as long as our little-ones don’t get sick.
But its inevitable. Kids get the sniffles. It’s the first sign of trouble. Don’t panic, but be vigilant. The most important thing is to keep the nose, snot-free. Use saline, drops or spray, and lots of it. Every hour if you have to. For the little-ones who can’t blow the snot out, there are other ways. The nose bulb is the most popular and simple way to suck it out. Another option, which is gaining popularity is a product by NoseFrida the Snotsucker. It’s great for babies, because you can control the pressure of suction.
Keeping the nose clean is so important. It can decrease sinus pressure and pain. It can also prevent postnasal drip, which will decrease the chances of mucus accumulating in the lungs when the child is laying down or sleeping.
Stay healthy and warm this winter.
Nice
