We often hear that many children have low immunity, often catch colds, and have many inflammatory problems. In fact, the issue of immunity is indeed very critical, because only by enhancing immunity can the body prevent illness. Here I will introduce some issues about immunity, which will help improve it.

1. Breastfeeding - the first immunity in life

Breast milk contains immune substances that are important for the development of the immune system. These substances can increase the baby's immunity and disease resistance. It can prevent babies from being invaded by viruses and getting sick. Breast milk is the first immunity of the baby, so don't miss the opportunity to breastfeed your baby.

2. Touch - improve baby's blood circulation

During natural childbirth, the contraction of the birth canal and squeezing of the fetus is a beneficial physical contact that is beneficial to the development of the baby's nervous system. After birth, the mother's physical contact will give the baby a great sense of security and promote the baby's physical development. It is especially beneficial for premature babies with low birth weight. Touching can improve the baby's blood circulation, enhance immunity, promote food digestion and absorption, reduce crying and improve sleep.

3. Immunization and vaccination - proactive response

Vaccination for babies is a proactive measure taken by humans to protect against infectious diseases, such as BCG vaccination to prevent tuberculosis, oral polio vaccine to prevent polio (polio), and hepatitis B vaccine to prevent hepatitis B. Parents must vaccinate their babies on time.

4. Regular living habits - maintain adequate sleep time

When dealing with children, parents must be patient and help them find their own rules of life. Children need enough sleep every day. If your child doesn't get enough sleep at night, you can let him take a nap during the day. On weekends, take your baby to parks with fresh air more often, which is very good for the body.

5. Balanced diet-enhance defense function

If children have picky eating habits and unbalanced nutrition, their resistance will be weakened. Eat as many varieties of meat, eggs, fresh vegetables and fruits as possible, and eat less fried, smoked, or overly sweet foods.

6. Don’t overeat – avoid overloading your spleen and stomach

A baby's internal organs are very delicate, and its digestive and absorption functions are not yet fully developed. Although nutrients are needed for growth and development, gastrointestinal motility is insufficient for digestion, so you should not eat too much, as this can easily cause gastrointestinal burden.

7. Drink more boiled water to keep the mucous membrane moist

Drinking plenty of water can keep the mucous membrane moist, which becomes an important line of defense against bacteria. Let your child carry a water bottle when going to kindergarten or going out so that he can drink whenever he is thirsty. Remember to drink plain water instead of sugary drinks.
