As we head into RSV (Respiratory Syncytial Virus) season, it’s important to remember how vulnerable babies and toddlers are to illnesses. Their immune systems are still developing, which means something that seems like a mild cold for an adult could lead to serious complications for them.

Even the smallest gestures, like kissing a baby’s forehead or holding their tiny hand, can unintentionally pass along germs that their little bodies can’t fight off as easily. This isn’t about being overly cautious or dramatic; it’s about being mindful and protective of those who can’t protect themselves.

If you see a sweet baby or toddler this season, share your love with smiles, kind words, and gentle interactions, but avoid kisses if they’re not your own child. This simple act of care can make all the difference. It’s not about you… it’s about protecting their health ♥️
