Should A New Born Child Be Exposed To People Suffering From Cold?
Hi there, our son is a week old and we were due to visit some friends tomorrow but they have a bad cold, is it safe for us to go/ expose our son to their cold or would it be better to wait until they recover from their colds? Many thanks, Caroline Bell
hello I understood your question. New born child is at very much risk for an infectious disease. hence it is advisable that he should not be exposed to any person having cold or any sort of infection. also ensure that anyone after coming at home should have proper hand wash and before handling baby one should ensure that his hand s are clean and can use alcoholic hand sanitisers if needed
