We know our smallest humans are also some of the most vulnerable, so there's some extra protection needed when it comes to illnesses that may be contagious to babies.   In this episode, Dr. Haley Newbrough joins us to talk about some common illnesses she sees, and when they are the most prevalent.  As a pediatric hospitalist at MercyOne North Iowa Medical Center, Dr. Newbrough takes care of infants who are hospitalized.   When we add to our family, we want to love and be close to the new addition but need to remember to be safe and sometimes that's keeping people away! Dr Newbrough has tips for big brothers and big sisters and how to interact when their new sibling in a safe manner that won't spread illnesses such as:
  • Bronchiolitis
  • Enterovirus
  • Herpes simplex virus
  • Influenza
  • Parechovirus
  • RSV
