Celebrating Maternal Love While Protecting Kids From Flu

How do we see love?

Some people see love as romantic, like when someone surprises their partner with gifts. Others also see love as platonic such as when friends hang out together and enjoy the company of each other.

But love can also look familial. A great example of that is a mother's affection towards her children.

And what better way for moms to show their tender, loving care towards their kids than to spend precious moments with them along with the gift of comfort: IPI Aceite de Manzanilla.

AN ICON OF MATERNAL LOVE

IPI Aceite de Manzanilla is a brand that’s well known by many moms from different generations across the country.

Made from chamomile (also known as manzanilla in Spanish, hence the name), its notable use is to help alleviate the discomforts kids feel. One, in particular, is colic or kabag.

Colic is a condition where babies constantly cry out for unspecified reasons that commonly occur during the first six weeks but fade away when infants reach three or four months old.

Its causes are still unclear, but health experts theorize that it may be due to:

1.     Babies finding difficulty in adjusting to a new environment;
2.     Swallowing too much air while crying;
3.     Having milk allergies; or
4.     Experiencing indigestion.

Apart from colic, moms also use IPI Aceite de Manzanilla (alongside the prescribed medications, of course) to help bring relief to their kids experiencing coughs, colds, and fever through gentle massages.

Additionally, IPI Aceite de Manzanilla is also used to help young children have a calm sleep as chamomile is known for its relaxing benefits.

But just as we keep kids happy and comfortable, we should also ensure that they are safe and healthy as the pandemic still continues.

And there are illnesses that children should also stay safe from, one of which is influenza (flu).
 
GIFT OF PROTECTION: KEEPING KIDS SAFE FROM THE FLU

Diseases like influenza (flu) can cause illnesses that range from mild to severe. Children, especially those younger than five years old, are at high risk of catching this illness.

Let's look at five key ways we can protect kids from the flu:

1.  Get them vaccinated
Especially now during a pandemic, getting vaccinated helps minimize the risk of experiencing life-threatening complications from illnesses. For kids, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommend that those aged six months and above should get a seasonal flu shot annually.

2.  Practice and maintain good hygiene
Their hands must always be cleaned through regular handwashing using soap and water since kids often put them in their mouths. Or when traveling, use hand sanitizers or rubbing alcohol.

Another is to cover their noses when they sneeze or cough to help minimize the spread of infection.

By teaching kids good hygiene, they not only keep themselves safe but others as well.

3.  Eat healthy food
Children love eating delicious food. But it is also important that their diet is well-balanced enough to help boost their immune system, like including fruits and vegetables into their meals and letting them drink plenty of water.

4.  Fun and exercise
Doing games and activities - whether indoors or outdoors - can help kids maintain a healthy lifestyle. It is also a good opportunity for parents to bond with them and have fun together.

5.  Rest and sleep
Kids also need enough rest and sleep, which aids in strengthening their immune system, improving their memory and mood, and relieving stress.

But just in case our kids get sick or experience flu-like symptoms, we must also remember to consult with a doctor before giving them the necessary medications.

With the pandemic still apparent, we do what we can to prioritize health and safety.

Showing our children love helps build connections and strengthens the bond between parent and child. And as we celebrate love, together with IPI Aceite de Manzanilla, remember to stay safe always.
