5 Ways You Can Protect Your Baby From RSV #PreemieProtection #RSVAwareness

January 23, 2016 in Babies, Mom Life

Disclosure: This is part of a sponsored collaboration with AstraZeneca and DiMe Media. However, all opinions expressed are my own.

Every parent wants to keep their newborn happy and healthy when they return home from the hospital, but parents of premature babies may face a greater challenge protecting their children. As preterm birth can come with complications, many preemies require special medical attention, particularly during the winter months when there is an increase in contagious seasonal illnesses.

Each year worldwide, 13 million babies are born prematurely. Despite these startling numbers, many parents still aren’t aware of the risks of premature birth — the leading cause of neonatal death. In fact, 75 percent of parents don’t know the definition of prematurity (birth at or before 37 weeks gestation), and during prenatal care, most pregnant women don’t ask their healthcare provider about the risk of delivering prematurely and the potential consequences of preterm birth for their child.

Having a newborn can be scary in itself and worrying about having a sick newborn is even scarier. The good news is RSV can be prevented.

Here are some tips to help you prevent the spread of RSV disease:

1. Parents should wash their hands often and ask others to do the same. (This goes for siblings too – especially school-aged children!)

2.Keep baby’s clothes, toys, sheets, blankets, and clothes clean.

3. Avoid large crowds and other young children during RSV season.

4. Don’t ever let anyone smoke near your baby.

5. Keep baby away from people who are sick or have recently been sick.

    I had early winter and late fall babies, so I was especially concerned about RSV. Handwashing often is a must as is staying away from others who are ill.

    My son had RSV as a newborn and it was the worst thing I could ever imagine. I thought I was going home with a newborn healthy baby and we ended up staying an extra week in the hospital. RSV is no joke.

    Babies can catch illnesses so easily! It’s so important to wash your hands and keep babies awY from people who are sick or have just been sick. We were always very careful when our kiddos were babies.

    I think you missed Boosting the Immune System! That is super important. Proper nutrition (breast milk if possible), sleep, and probiotics/vitamin D should be discussed with your health care provider but are shown to be effective.

Siri, remove my makeup...Siri, are you there?!!!

Ok, so that is not possible yet. 😂 But dang, you guys know I love trying new masks and peels. And after I removed my makeup, I tried out this AHAVA PURIFYING MUD Mask. 

No fillers, no fluff, no surprises in this product.  It's vegan and paraben free.  It feels so light on the skin and when it dries it almost feels like you can feel the goodness soak into your skin.  You only leave it on for two minutes and then wash it off. My skin felt so fresh and clean after this mask. Then, I applied the Ahava moisturizer and my skin felt so nice. 

If you want to try this mask or moisturizer for yourself or if you want to check out their other products, check out their website and use the code:  YOUR30 for 30% off site wide.  No need to thank me! Treat yourself, yo.

I have been using @thebeachwaver good vibes moisturizing shampoo and conditioner for well over a month now and I can totally tell a difference.  I freakin LOVE these products because...

 This is made of all the good stuff.  Coconut oil, Tahitian monoi flower and..wait for it...Shea butter.  So the smell is amazing and my hair is so soft after treating my hair to this vegan goodness. If you fall in love with it like I did, beachwaver had a subscription service and you can have your hair are delivered right to your door.  You can also use my code MAMASITAWAVE at checkout for an additional 10% off.  I’ll do another hair shot next month so you can see the difference.  #beachwaveshair #beachwaverbabe #goodvibes #hairproductsonline #subscribenow #subscribeservice #beachwaverbabes #hairtools #mondayyy97 #hairproductreview #momlifebestlife #hairlove #shampooandconditioner #veganshampoo #independentwomenknow #veganconditioner #goodvibestribe #ad
