Reducing the risk
- Always washing their hands before holding their child, and insisting that others do, too;
- Washing babies’ toys, clothes, play areas and bedding often;
- Not sharing personal items (pacifiers, cups, forks, spoons, towels, washcloths);
- Keeping babies away from anyone with a cold or the flu, and avoiding crowded areas and day care during RSV season
- Never letting anyone smoke around the baby.
