How to prevent influenza during breastfeeding? What are the ways to prevent influenza during breastfeeding?

1. Get a flu shot

Breastfeeding mothers will not pass the vaccine directly to their babies through breast milk, but the antibodies produced in the mother's body after vaccination will be passed to the baby through breast milk. Therefore, it is recommended that breastfeeding mothers be vaccinated during the flu season. "Inactivated attenuated" influenza vaccine can improve the baby's ability to resist influenza!

2. Wear a mask correctly

Masks are effective in preventing the spread of influenza. However, mothers should note that masks must be worn and removed correctly, otherwise they will be counterproductive. Masks can accumulate viruses. When removing them, do not pass them over your nose, mouth or eyes and wash your hands immediately. Try not to touch or let your baby grab the front of the mask, which is most contaminated. The removed mask needs to be cleaned with disinfectant.

3. Pay attention to your diet

Reasonable diet, balanced protein, sugar, fat, vitamins and other nutrients, will help to strengthen the body. The diet must be regular, not overeating. In addition, we should also pay attention to drinking more water.

4. Wear more clothes to keep warm

When the temperature changes frequently, the human body is vulnerable to influenza virus because it cannot adapt to the drastic changes in temperature. Therefore, pregnant women need to add or remove clothes in time according to the temperature changes, and pay attention to keeping warm when sleeping at night.

5. Keep your hands clean

Your hands come into contact with various places every day, such as bus handrails, elevator buttons, computer keyboards, coins, etc. So be sure to wash your hands with running water when you come back from going out.
