When you are taking care of children, you will always need to be careful of germs and bacteria, but infants require some extra effort. Here are some ways to keep an infant healthy and well.
Feeding infants
If you are taking care of more than one baby, keep each infant’s bottle separate. It’s a good idea to put the baby’s name on the bottle to avoid confusion. Never let a baby share a bottle. Also, if you are feeding solid food to more than one infant or toddler at a meal, be sure to use a different spoon for each child you feed. Sharing spoons is another way to spread germs.
