Since the immune system in newborn babies is not fully developed, even ordinary coughs and colds can turn into serious illnesses.
Medianews.az reports that so said the Turkish doctor Ahmet Öktem.
According to the doctor, especially influenza and RSV viruses pose a high risk for babies, and it is important for sick individuals to avoid contact with babies.
The specialist emphasized that infections are spread not only through airborne droplets but also through dirty hands and contact. For this reason, failure to follow hygiene rules can lead to eye and skin infections.
Furthermore, failure to keep the navel area clean and dry, as well as infections such as gastroenteritis causing diarrhea, can cause serious fluid loss in babies.
