KEEPING YOUR BABY WELL IN WINTER
There are certain evils that beset the baby’s way during the winter just as there are seasonal pitfalls in summer, but the truth is that if you care for yourself and him according to the suggestions that have been set down in the foregoing pages, you are doing practically everything necessary to make his way safe and comfortable. A baby who has proper food, plenty of fresh air, is kept clean and whose daily life is regular, is not likely to be ill during the winter or any other time.
The chief baby ills that come with the blustery weather are colds and the troubles that are likely to follow in their wake, such as bronchitis and pneumonia. Colds are infectious, you know, so keep the baby away from sneezy people and out of crowds and dusty places. If he should take cold in spite of you, send for the doctor at once. It may amount to nothing and clear up in a day or two, but if you let it run on, the dreaded bronchitis or pneumonia may result.
