If your child is often sick from birth, and the course of the disease is severe, urgently think about increasing the immunity of the baby. Start hardening the child, review his daily routine and nutrition.
Instructions
Step 1
First of all, do not give up breastfeeding for as long as possible. Take your time with the transition to artificial nutrition, even if it contains a lot of essential vitamins and minerals. Mother's milk, better than any artificial additives, increases immunity in children, improves the ability of the child's body to resist various infectious diseases.
Step 2
Give your baby a rosehip broth as a drink (it is very rich in vitamin C). Take 200 gr. dry berries and brew 200-250 gr. boiling water in a thermos. Let the broth brew for an hour. Then cool to room temperature and give your baby a tablespoon two to three times a day.
Step 3
Be sure to give your newborn all the necessary vaccinations according to the schedule that your pediatrician recommends to you. They help in the formation of artificial immunity. Even if your baby gets sick, for example, with chickenpox after being vaccinated, the course of the disease will be milder, and you can also avoid serious consequences after the disease.
Step 4
Form your child's natural immunity as well. To do this, you must understand for yourself that overly suspicious mothers who want to protect their baby from any bacteria, who are trying to create a sterile environment in the nursery, are more likely to harm him than help him. Under no circumstances wipe all surfaces in the children's room many times a day with all possible disinfectants. It will be quite enough to carry out wet cleaning once a day and ventilate the room in the morning and before going to bed, in the evening.
Step 5
Strictly monitor your baby's daily routine. In order for him to feel vigorous and healthy during the day, he must sleep enough time (depending on the age needs of the child's body). Take your baby for a walk (preferably twice a day) in any weather. Do not wrap your child too tightly while walking. You will not protect him from colds. In this case, he will sweat faster and even from a weak breeze may catch a cold. Dress babies for the weather. Moreover, instead of one, too warm blanket, it is better to use several thinner ones to keep warm between the layers of fabric.
Step 6
Give your baby an air bath. During swaddling, do not try to wrap it up quickly, but leave it undressed for five minutes. But first, check that there are no drafts in the room.
Step 7
Give your baby a massage: rub and stroke the legs, arms, back and tummy. You will be able to carry out similar procedures on your own, before observing such manipulations by the bandolier nurse.
Step 8
Exercise with your baby as well. It is enough just to bend his legs at the knees, pull him by the handles, and also turn him in different directions and on his tummy.
Step 9
Be sure to give your child a water bath every day. In them, you can add decoctions of a string, oregano, chamomile. They have a beneficial effect both on the condition of the baby's skin and on the general emotional and physical state of children, calming them down before going to bed.
Step 10
Never give your baby medications without consulting a doctor. You can seriously harm your baby by self-medication, as well as destroy his immunity. The consequence of the use of many drugs can be a violation of the microflora of the stomach and intestines, as well as the development of serious allergic conditions.
