Parents, really don't kiss the baby.
Love your children, please do it differently.
There was a hot search news on May 18: the March old baby was sent to the hospital with a high fever after being kissed by relatives and friends.
Here's why it happened: Ms. Cao, a mother in Jiaxing, Zhejiang Province, recently returned to her mother's home with her 3-month-old baby.
The day after returning home, the family held the baby and kissed and touched it, and loved it very much.
At that time, Ms. Cao also reminded the family that it was best not to kiss the baby, but the elders were more stubborn, and said: the children are all kissed.
As a result, by the afternoon, the baby had a sudden high fever, which reached 39 degrees 7, and the temperature at home was normal at that time.
After that, the mother took the baby to the hospital, and the doctor diagnosed it as a viral infection.
The doctor asks if he has taken the child to a crowded place, whether anyone in the family has a cold and fever, or has been close to the child.
The mother thought that the old man in the family had indeed kissed the child, and thought that it should have been infected by the germs on the adult.
At present, the baby is still having recurrent fever.
Looking at the baby with high fever, the mother is really distressed, and she shared her experience to remind people with children at home: don't kiss the child casually, you can change some way to express love.
Many netizens read this mother's sharing and also reminded one after another:
"Little babies really can't be kissed, there are countless bacteria in adults' mouths, and little babies can't stand it."
"I once came across chewing food to feed my children, and I really had a headache."
"My son was also hugged and kissed by a neighbor, and as a result, the fever did not go away."
"So many news reports can't kiss children, children will get the virus, but they just don't believe it."
That's right, the baby really can't kiss casually, fortunately, it's the baby who suffers when something happens.

"One kiss, put my baby in the hospital, twice critically ill..."
Children really can't mess with each other
Please don't kiss the child, let alone feed the child casually, it can really be fatal!
This is not a joke, let alone alarmist, because there are too many examples of indiscriminate feeding and kissing causing babies to get sick.
A mother in Shandong once issued a warning on social platforms: Please all mothers must remember that no matter where you are, no matter who you are, the behavior of feeding your baby at will, even if it offends people, stop her!

Because her baby was fed peaches by a neighbor, and the neighbor had a cold at that time, the baby had a fever that night and did not sleep all night.
There are more examples of babies getting sick because of kissing.
A child in Guangdong has a fever for no reason, a fever for several days, and went to the hospital to check that he was infected with EBV, that is, "kiss disease", and the reason is that parents usually like to kiss their children.
In early April 2021, a 5-year-old baby boy in Guangdong lost his life in just 5 days due to improper kissing and infected with the herpes simplex virus.
A 4-year-old girl in the United States was infected with the herpes simplex virus because her mother kissed her child when she had a fever, and half of her cheeks festered.
Fortunately, through timely control and treatment, her daughter's condition was controlled.
The mother also shared her dangerous experience on social platforms, she reminded all parents: don't kiss the child casually, the blister left by my fever has not completely healed, at this time I kissed my daughter again, and the virus was transmitted to her through a small blister on her cheek. ”
Pregnant mothers should remind all parents: the health of the child is not a trivial matter, do not do what cannot be done, and must stop it when it is time to stop it!

Oral environment in adults
It can be fatal for young babies
This is really not alarmist.
According to statistics, there are more than 700 types of bacteria in the human oral cavity, not only foreign bacteria, viruses but also a large number of endogenous microbial flora parasitized in the oral cavity.
Young babies have a tender oral mucosa and low defense function, which is easily damaged by food.
If mouth-to-mouth feeding, chewing feeding, and casual kissing of the child, pathogens can be transmitted through saliva invading the child's body, including:
First: gastritis (pylori bacteria)
Helicobacter pylori is highly contagious, and one person infects the family, such as chewing food to feed the child, mouth-to-mouth kissing the baby, licking the temperature of the food and other behaviors, which will cause the bacteria to "mix" into the baby's milk and meals, and then infection.
Second: dental caries
Streptococcus deformed in the mouth is a common cause of tooth decay and colonizes the mouth of people with dental caries. In adults, if there is caries in the mouth, after chewing, saliva can be directly transmitted to the child, endangering the baby's baby teeth.
Third: cold
Regardless of the type of cold, there are bacteria or viruses that cause the disease in the throat. Because the baby's resistance is relatively weak, a little attention may be infected by cold virus, severe can cause bronchitis, pneumonia, otitis media and other symptoms or encephalitis, myocarditis.
Fourth: kissing disease
Kissing disease is an acute, self-limiting infectious disease caused by Epstein-Barr virus, transmitted mainly through saliva. Coughing, sneezing, or sharing utensils with an uninfected person can spread EBV from one person to another. Kissing a child, or even chewing something for the child to eat, is also easily contagious.
Kissing disease" for adults, it usually heals automatically in about 10 days. But the baby's resistance and immunity are very low, and such a virus is sometimes fatal to the baby.
Fifth: other pathogens
Do not kiss an adult if you have a cold, mumps, skin disease, conjunctivitis, oral disease, gastrointestinal disease, epidemic hepatitis, or carry a contagious hepatitis virus.
Some diseases are not very harmful to adults, but for babies with low resistance, they are very harmful! Don't let love hurt!
③
Prevention is paramount
Protect your child from viral infections – please do so
The resistance of small babies is weak, and parents must do a good job of protection.
Bad actions of acquaintances should be refused, do not kiss the child casually, do not feed the child indiscriminately, for the sake of the child, you really cannot be afraid of offending people!
The following points must be taken care of for your baby:
First: These 5 types of people do not kiss babies
●If an adult has an infectious disease such as a cold, herpes, skin disease, hepatitis, etc., avoid getting close to the child to avoid transmission to the child.
●People with Helicobacter pylori should avoid kissing the child, avoid feeding the child, avoid sharing utensils with the child, and do not blow the child's food with the mouth.
●If you have a respiratory problem, stay away from your child, let alone kiss your child.
●Those who have just smoked and drunk alcohol. People who have just smoked and drunk will have a large number of harmful substances left in their mouths, such as alcohol, nicotine, etc., if they kiss the baby at this time, these harmful substances will be absorbed by the baby and bring harm to the baby.
● People who wear heavy makeup. There are many chemicals in cosmetics, and if they get on the baby's skin when kissing, they may cause diseases such as contact dermatitis, and if harmful substances are accidentally eaten by the baby, they may cause chronic poisoning and other diseases.
Second: decisively refuse casual kisses from others
This includes grandparents, dads, brothers and sisters, and even mothers do not kiss the baby at will, do not be afraid of hurting the peace, refuse when it is time to refuse, this is to protect the child.
When your child is older, teach him polite refusals and tell your child to turn his cheek sideways if someone wants to kiss you; If someone asks you to kiss him, give him a flying kiss.
Third: these parts must not be kissed
Special parts must not be kissed - mouth, nose, eyes and small hands, the mouth is the most dangerous place, as well as the nose, eyes are also easily infected areas, must not kiss, refuse to chew and feed the baby, this is absolutely forbidden.
Fourth: Take preventive measures to protect children
● Frequent hand washing - regular hand washing is the easiest and most effective way to get rid of colds and germs, after changing diapers, after wiping your nose, before preparing food, you should wash your hands, and when you go out to play, you should also wash your hands.
Vaccinate your baby promptly – Vaccines can help protect your child from certain viruses and bacteria.
●Improve your baby's immunity – In order to provide your baby with the best immunity, breastfeed as much as possible, and once you start eating solid foods, provide a variety of healthy foods to ensure that your baby gets all the nutrients he needs.
●Adequate exercise time – your child should be active for at least one hour a day. Includes activities that increase breathing and heart rate and strengthen muscles and bones.
Keep your baby away from secondhand smoke – Smoking and exposure to secondhand smoke can harm you and your family. Staying smoke-free can help reduce your child's risk of bronchitis, asthma, ear problems, and pneumonia.
●Use things separately - Many germs are infected through close contact with children, so things used by babies must be placed separately from family members, such as towels, washbasins, cutlery, etc.
The last thing to say is: love children does not have to kiss, for the health of children, please keep some safe distance from the baby, please love children in a different way!
