• Vaccinations
        Get your child vaccinated against common illnesses before the winter season starts. 
      • Hydration
        Children lose water through their skin and breath in dry air, so make sure they drink enough fluids. 
      • Hand hygiene
        Teach your child to wash their hands properly after coming home from outside. You can also use hand sanitizer. 
      • Breathable clothing
        Dress your child in soft, breathable clothing made from natural, baby-safe fibers. Babies should wear one more layer than you do. 
      • Moisturizing
        Apply moisturizer to your child's skin at least two to three times a day. 
      • Sunscreen
        Apply SPF 15 or higher to your child's face if they'll be outside for a long time. Snow can reflect up to 80% of the sun's UV rays. 
      • Bathing
        Give your child a lukewarm bath that's no longer than five minutes. Gently pat them dry after the bath. 
      • Fresh air and sunlight
        Let your child spend time outdoors to get fresh air and sunlight. 
      • Stress management
        Create a supportive environment to help your child manage stress. Chronic stress can impact immunity.
