As a parent, you want to do everything you can to keep your baby healthy and strong. An important part of this is strengthening your baby's immune system to protect it from infections and illnesses.
Vitamins and nutrients
Make sure your baby gets enough nutrients, especially vitamin C and zinc. This can be achieved through a balanced diet or supplements if necessary, but always seek the advice of your pediatrician.
Zinc and vitamin C are important nutrients for the immune system. Zinc can be found in foods such as meat, fish, legumes, nuts and seeds. Vitamin C is found in fresh fruits and vegetables such as peppers, oranges, kiwi, pineapple and broccoli.
Some examples of foods that contain both zinc and vitamin C include chicken, beef, lentils, almonds, peppers and oranges.
However, it is important to note that babies should not be on solid foods yet, and it is best to feed them breast milk or formula until they are at least 6 months old. Talk to your pediatrician if you plan to give your baby solid foods early, and make sure you get the recommended amounts of vitamins and minerals to avoid the risk of overdose.
Fresh air and the necessary hygiene and peace
Promote a hygienic environment for your baby by washing hands regularly, keeping the environment clean, and making sure your baby gets enough fresh air and exercise.
Encourage regular relaxation and sleep to support your baby's immune system. A well-rested body is better able to fight off infections. Avoid excessive stress and encourage your baby to exercise and play regularly. Exercise and play promote blood circulation and support the immune system.
