With the recent swine flu pandemic scare, it's hearty to know that at least this alerts us to keeping clean at all times. It was surprising for me to read that more people die from the seasonal flu than what we are seeing from the unknown swine flu. 600 a year!!! in Singapore!
The best bet to keep up a baby's immunity is still...to breastfeed, breastfeed, and frequently. This is exactly what the CDC advises - initiation of total breastfeeding, continued breastfeeding if mother falls ill. And not to forget the 1st line of defence - clean hands. Now, how to stop people from touching baby when we are outside? Grrrrrrrrrrr.......
