Tips to keep children healthy
There are many different tips that can be followed to care for children and maintain the health and safety of them. Here are some of these tips:
Planning a healthy pregnancy:
As mentioned above, decisions taken since planning for pregnancy and childbirth have a subsequent effect on the health of children. So, be careful to avoid exercising some habits that may affect the health of the child during pregnancy such as alcohol or smoking and be careful to take supplements (Folic acid) to prevent certain fetal malformations.
Breastfeeding:
Breast milk contains all the natural nutrients that the child needs. So, be careful to try to feed the baby through breastfeeding as much as possible. Also, breastfeeding helps strengthen the relationship between mother and child.
