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.

    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.
