Winter truly is a wonderful time of year. It brings lovely, crisp evenings and a welcome break from the intense summer heat. Unfortunately, this time of year can also place quite a lot of strain on your little one’s (and your own) immunity, thanks to flu season and a whole host of other bugs that take hold in the winter months.
Picking up colds, bugs or viruses usually leads to days off school for kids or missing work for parents. These bouts of sickness can impact the regular flow of routine in the household and make it difficult for each member of the family to get back in the swing of things. Everyone wants to stay well throughout winter to make the most of the season and spend some time outside in the cooler air.
FIVE TIPS TO KEEP THE BUGS AT BAY
Thankfully, there are some steps you can take to ensure that both you and your little one have the best possible chance of avoiding illness this winter.
Sleep
As the old saying goes, ‘sleep is the best medicine’. It’s only in relatively recent years that we see the wisdom in this statement. Sufficient sleep is a key component of keeping your little one healthy and well. During sleep, your child’s body gets the opportunity to tackle any bugs before they take hold and to replenish energy, to make sure your little one is fighting fit.
