Advices to follow when my baby has bronchiolitis:
~ Wash your hands as well as the siblings’ hands before handling the baby.
~ Elevate the head of baby’s bed approximately 30° with the help of a cushion or a similar item.
~ Keep the room ventilated at the temperature of approximately +19 °C.
~ Regularly clean the nose of the baby: most importantly before the meals and bedtimes.
~ Divide the feeding bottle into a few portions instead of giving it all at once.
~ Offer him/her water regularly throughout the day.
~ Often humidify the room with the help of a room humidifier, especially during the first phase of the disease.
~ Do not take the baby into overly crowded and enclosed places; avoid public places such as shopping centres or public transport.
~ Avoid taking the baby back to the nursery or to the kindergarten as long as possible during the time of the illness.
