Top Tips On Getting Through Winter For The Hypochondriac In You

When you have children winter can be a time of year when bugs and colds spread like wildfire. With the upcoming festivities and back to school in January, you want to avoid the entire house being wiped out with the newest strain of flu.  Here are some tips that can help you and your family to stay as healthy as possible this winter season.

Star Chart For Young Children
Even if you are able to have a doctor on call, it’s smart to take as many precautions as possible to ensure your children don’t pick up anything too nasty. Yes, it builds their immune system, but may cause you to miss time from work at a high traffic time like Christmas. Having a star chart for practising good habits like washing their hands before eating, catching any sneezes in a tissue, thoroughly washing their hands with soap after using the toilet and covering their mouths when they cough can stop germs from spreading. Carrying anti-bac wipes and hand sanitizer while out and about - especially when travelling on public transport - can also kill any nasties your children have picked up from the handrails or the very loved stop button. Making these activities fun and interesting can ensure they are made habit rather than forgotten.

After giving birth, taking care of yourself and your body is of the utmost importance. Not only will proper self-care speed up your recovery, but it will also ensure the safety and health of your baby. If you decide to breastfeed your little one, you need to be mindful of the products you use because they can affect your baby, as well. From your diet to the hygiene products you use, you need to make sure to get rid of everything that might expose you and your child to chemicals and toxins. Therefore, it’s advisable that you switch to natural hygiene products to ensure your and your baby’s well-being.

Be fragrance-free


Babies’ sense of smell is quite sensitive, which is why you need to avoid products with strong fragrances. While gentle aromas may not be unpleasant to your baby, they may contain chemical substances that can cause numerous health problems, ranging from skin irritation to serious damage to your and your baby’s immune systems. Even if you choose products with natural scents, you can never be sure that they are completely free of chemicals. Therefore, choosing fragrance-free products is the safest option for a breastfeeding mom. In addition, products with strong scents can hinder your breastfeeding relationship with your baby. By switching to fragrance-free products, you will allow your baby to sense your natural scent that they will simply adore.
