Are you worried about toddlers and family healthcare during Monsoon Read here the solution of all your worries.
A Clean baby is a happy baby:
This is the first and very important step for Baby care in Monsoon.
As Newborn does not come in direct contact with dirt and pollution So, giving a bath to a newborn 2 times a week is fine. But, in Humid climate, it is advisable to give a bath to a baby once every day. This is the best way to keep all disease at bay. I would suggest avoiding much oil massaging during the monsoon as oil at times stick to the skin and block the pores.
Clean and cool Clothing:
The temperature during monsoon shows so much up and down. Sometimes it is heated as hell and sometimes its is cool as heaven. I would suggest to keep your baby in comfortable cotton clothes and keep a baby wraps handy so that if it becomes cool wrap your baby immediately. Change your baby clothes 2 to 3 times a day.
Keep your surroundings clean: Do not let water to stand near your house or inside. The water logging gives a breeding base to the mosquito. Use floor disinfectant to clean the house. Keep changing the bed sheets, Pram sheets or cradle sheets often.
Sanitise and Sterilise:
Yes, this is really the most important step. Always sanitize or wash your hands before touching the baby or making food for baby. If your formula fed always sterilize the feeder or bottle before use.
Keep Mosquitos away.
As monsoon is a good season for the reproductive cycle of Mosquitoes. They can spread diseases quickly during monsoon. As the most prominent place for mosquitoes is Garden area to prevent their growth keep natural mosquito repellent plants in your garden areas like Citronella, Basil, Lemongrass etc.
Use Cradle or baby bet nets a good quality mosquito nets are available online. Mosquito repellent sprays and patches as well you can use.
Use debug spray or mosquito replant spray for your home and outside areas.
Drink safe and eat healthily: Drink purified water, As there is a great possibility of encountering water borne diseases with unsafe or unfiltered water. Eat healthy and home cooked food avoid outside food as much as possible.Outside food gets exposed to open air and pollutants. This can again become a cause of getting sick.

Lovely posts Jiya. All the tips and options shared by you are awesome. It can actually get tricky when a newborn falls sick. With such less immunity, it’s easily possible for them to fall sick. Precaution is a must.

Shubhreet Kaur |Raising Karma Blog
These are really good tips especially for people living in coastal climates. Karma was born in Singapore and even though it wasn’t technically monsoons then, regular rain and humidity are around all year round. So we followed pretty much a similar system for her. We also kept a bottle of hand sanitiser in our living room so whoever came to meet her could sanitise hands first as she was a new born baby. 🙂
