Cold and Flu Q&A by Dr. DuMond
When your child is sick it can be difficult, especially during the holiday season. In this cold and flu Q&A session, our Gugu Village Parents were able to ask Dr. Sara DuMond, MD, questions regarding illness, keeping germs at bay and keeping children’s immune systems in tip-top shape while traveling. Dr. DuMond is a member of Dr. Brown’s Baby Medical Expert Panel and a mom of three. Needless to say, she is an expert at keeping kids well and getting them feeling better when they are ill.
Cold and Flu Q&A 1: What are the best practices for keeping my baby and toddler healthy this cold and flu season?
-Lauren R.
As we approach the time of year when we experience an uptick in the number of cold and flu viruses that circulate in our communities, parents often rightfully ask if there are things they can be doing to keep their children healthy. Aside from a flu shot (which doesn’t always prevent the flu, but thankfully does an excellent job of preventing the serious and often life-threatening complications from influenza), simplicity reigns!
Teaching kids to use good handwashing technique (soap and warm water for about 20-30 seconds, or the amount of time it takes to sing the “Happy Birthday” song) can go a long way towards keeping kids healthy. Also, things like encouraging some form of physical activity every day, enforcing consistent bedtimes, and encouraging daily fruits and vegetables in our children’s diets, prime their immune system to be in the best shape to fight off germs.
Cold and Flu Q&A 2: What’s the best way to get my whole family’s immune systems as strong as possible in a preventative way? I have a 2.5 year old and I’m super nervous about bringing our newborn home in the beginning of the month! I’m both worried about him staying healthy, and also keeping my toddler as healthy as possible because I am terrified about taking care of him and our newborn. Also, my husband tends to get whatever the toddler gets and that’s no fun either! Any tips on prevention would be super appreciated especially for stomach viruses!
-Samantha K.
We should all be approaching our family’s health from a preventative stance! Bringing a new baby home at any time can be a stressful situation, but especially when it’s during cold and flu season and there are older siblings (i.e. cute little petri dishes) at home! From a holistic standpoint, the entire family can focus on eating whole foods, avoiding processed pre-packed snacks, and always having a ready-supply of seasonally available fruits and vegetables. A general rule of thumb is that vitamins are much more readily available to the body when eating in whole food form, as opposed to taking supplements. Smoothies are a quick and easy way to get fruits and vegetables in everyone’s diet – mom and dad and kids! The dreaded stomach virus is one that no one wants to battle, and good gut immunity starts with diet. Newborns benefit from healthy immune germ-fighting cells from mom for the first 6 months of life, and breastfeeding boosts that immunity as well.
Cold and Flu Q&A 3: Dr. DuMond, should my three children (in three different schools/daycares) be taking vitamins or supplements? How can I prevent germs from spreading at home?
-Christine C.
The #1 question I get asked about is whether or not kids should be taking vitamins and whether there are any natural supplements that are safe and effective for kids that will keep them healthy during cold and flu season. While parents may often hear anecdotal stories about magic-bullet products that have worked well for their friends or family members, there is really no evidence to support any one product or supplement.
The best all-natural prevention starts with the most all-natural approaches, of a healthy family diet heavily weighted with organic fruits and vegetables, prioritizing consolidated 10-12 hours of sleep a night for toddlers and preschoolers, and daily active play.
Another good tip is frequent reminders for toddlers and preschoolers to avoid touching their face, nose, and mouth throughout the day. Germs enter our bodies when we touch a surface that someone has coughed or sneezed on and then touch our own noses, mouths, or eyes. Taking this common-sense approach isn’t a guarantee that siblings won’t share germs and colds, but it sets families up for bouncing back much more quickly!
Cold and Flu Q&A 4: My baby is too young for the flu vaccine and we plan to travel on a very long flight for the holidays, what do you suggest doing to help our baby’s immune system?
-Kelly M.
Babies under 6 months are too little to get a flu vaccine, so it’s essential that others around them get theirs, to surround them with the highest level of protection possible. Travel during holiday times can be stressful and definitely places little ones at increased risk for exposure to cold and flu viruses. Shy of setting a family policy of no travel during a baby’s first cold and flu season (which many of my families choose to do!), there are some tips for navigating air travel this time of year. Pack plenty of individual travel-sized hand sanitizers and keep infants in an infant carrier or sling to minimize well-meaning travelers who are tempted to touch the baby. For older toddlers and children, encourage hydration during the travel day with water in sippy cups and other vessels that travel well, avoid food courts and opt instead for healthier options like bananas (which have their own build-in natural “packaging”) and individual packages of nut butters. For travel across time zones, allow, at minimum, one full day upon arrival to your destination, where you do not have lots of scheduled activities, so that body clocks can re-adjust, naps can be worked in, and little bodies aren’t pushed beyond commonsense limits.
Cold and Flu Q&A 5: What advice do you have for when my baby DOES start to come down with something? Is there anything I can do to lessen symptoms?
-Kate E.
For infants who are breastfeeding, continue breastfeeding! (This advice applies even if mom comes down with sickness herself!) Watch for any evidence of fever (rectal temperatures are the only reliable way to check a baby’s temperature), changes in feeding pattern, or changes in color. Those symptoms would always warrant a call to the pediatrician’s office. If it seems like baby is struggling with the sniffles, but is otherwise well, invest in a cool-mist humidifier and run that in the room where baby sleeps. Infant nasal saline drops or sprays that come over the counter will help thin the mucous and make it easier to suction out of their noses.
Remember, cold and flu viruses enter the body most often times through the nose, so frequent nasal suctioning, while sometimes stressful because of protests and tears from little ones, can be key to preventing a simple cold from progressing into something more serious. Over-the-counter cough and cold medicines are not recommended for babies.
We would like to thank Dr. DuMond for these amazing tips! We hope you are able to implement these suggestions and enjoy a healthy Holiday season.

But the best part of the nanobébé bottle? It’s an all-in-one game changer bottle that you can pump, store, warm, and feed from! No wonder it’s award-winning, right?

The Key to Pumping Privately at Work: Meet Motif’s Luna Breast Pump
Give yourself a huge hug today. You deserve that extra moment of self-love more than ever. You’re mom’ing, creating food for your babe with your body, AND instilling your child(ren) with everlasting values about working hard and making a living. Brava!
Returning to work with a little one is difficult beyond words, so we’d like to take one thing off your plate: which breast pump to choose. Whether you have an office, or pump in the break room or in the bathroom, a reliable machine is necessary—and a quiet one is a lovely luxury.
A favorite of mamas, experienced and new, the Motif Luna Breast Pump delivers across a spectrum of needs and desires. When you’re on the clock at work, every minute of pumping time counts. Working mamas who use Motif’s Luna Breast Pump appreciate the amount of milk that flows out in the short window of time. More milk in less time is a dream for a mom in between meetings.
Speaking of meetings, we know many moms who need to participate on conference calls while they pump, and Luna’s quiet motor takes care of any sound concerns. It features a soft, low purr that doesn’t disturb co-workers, phone calls or sleeping babes. It’s also one of the lightest pumps on the market. At just 2 lbs., its sleek shape can easily fit into almost any type of bag—making it easy for daily commutes.
Lastly, and very importantly, it is safe for your precious babe. We know you’re juggling a lot, so when we found the Luna, a closed-system pump, we knew it was a winner. There’s no need for you to worry about your pump’s motor being exposed to milk, which can open up your babe to mold and viruses. The closed system acts as a hygienic barrier and prevents this from occurring.
To make this experience even better, you might want to try the Motif Breastmilk Storage bags. These 8 oz. bags master the art of breastmilk storage, making it ultra-simple for moms on the go. They feature an easy-pour spout, leak-proof double zippers, and the self-stand design makes it easy for refrigerator storage. Plus, they can also lay flat in your freezer to maximize space.
It’s not easy carrying the world on your shoulders 24/7 (sometimes that seems literal). Let this tried-and-true system lighten your load—and bring some extra joy to your everyday.
Kindness Counts: Amazing Mama Brands with Huge Hearts
A mama’s to-do list scrolls. And scrolls. And scrolls. Sometimes, it’s seemingly impossible to take on one more thing.
We’ve been there, but we know just how amazing it feels when we open up our hearts and give back. To make it as easy as possible for you, we scoped out the mama-brand-scene and found our favorite companies with huge hearts. We’re excited to share philanthropic brands that contribute to our local communities, mamas and more.
If you haven’t heard of KIDBOX yet, its heart and generous hand can be felt across the globe. A subscription-with-styling-service clothing box (think Stitch Fix, but for kids), KIDBOX donates new clothing to the charity of your choice when you keep your box. This cutting-edge company donated over $12.5 million in new clothing to date, and seems to want to do more. Their passionate community is ever-growing, and their pioneering, change-making strategy is one that deserves the spotlight.
Plus, just when you think it can’t get any better, you shop the site! KIDBOX partners with major global brands you’d want to shop anyway: Adidas, Splendid, 7 for all Mankind, Disney, Sketchers and many more. Doing good is rarely this much fun.
While you’re clicking and tapping away, you might want to check out these other brands too: Abby & Finn is an affordable, eco-friendly diaper-and-wipe subscription service. As seen in PopSugar and Red Tricycle, Abby & Finn donates 30 diapers to families in need for each monthly box purchased.
For an ultra-stylish and versatile diaper bag that donates to an amazing cause, visit Momkindness. For each bag purchased, Momkindness donates a portion of the proceeds to Every Mother Counts, an organization that helps “bring safe and respectful maternity care to mothers everywhere.”
Another company to note: Mommy Matters. Their innovative, portable pillow features a hot/cold insert to heal aches and pains. Named one of the top 10 pregnancy pillows in 2019 by Verywell Family, Mommy Matters donates proceeds to Saving Mothers, “a global non-profit working to reduce maternal mortality and help mothers thrive around the world.”
Lastly, if you’re in search of a chic, office-friendly breast pump bag, check out JL Childress. For every Jay Elle Pump Bag sold, $1 is donated to a non-profit organization to support breastfeeding.
As you can see, there are plenty of ways to give back during this beautiful time (when you also have no time). Wishing you fun and fulfilling shopping moments, Mama.
Breastfeeding and Pumping: The All-In-One, Award-Winning System
Transitioning baby from breast to bottle can be exhausting and disheartening at times, so we were seriously pumped to learn about nanobébé’s award-winning breastfeeding and pumping system. This all-in-one feeding solution, named ‘Smartest Baby Bottle Ever Made’ by Business Insider and the ‘Best Bottle for Breastfed Babies’ by the Bump, has a plethora of mama and baby-focused benefits—and we can’t wait to share them with you.
Firstly, the thoughtful design assures babe that their beloved food source didn’t go anywhere. Shaped like a smooth breast, the nanobébé bottle can help with the difficult transition—for both of you!
Another amazing benefit is its extensive capabilities. As a new parent, we already have 18 million things either on us, around us, or surrounding our sink—if we can eliminate something, let’s. This breastfeeding and pumping phenomenon can be used to pump, store, warm AND feed your babe. A breast pump adaptor is included, and a little storage bonus: the bottles are stackable.
And now, for the info that many of us do not know about: When you warm breastmilk without proper temperature tracking, you can unknowingly remove some of the essential nutrients. This breastfeeding and pumping solution warms the milk up to two times faster than standard bottles—at safe temperatures—to retain the nutrients. It is the first and only bottle designed to protect the nutrients in breastmilk. The perfect addition to compliment your breastfeeding journey.
When you’re trying to calm your babe in the middle of the night, it’s soothing to know that you can heat the milk quickly without worrying about warming it unevenly or overheating (and having to wait for it to cool down). And then during your milk sesh, when your adoring eyes watch your babe in ecstasy, you can smile knowing that the nutrients you’re working hard to produce are being delivered to their growing bodies.
Recognized by TIME, CNN and DailyMail UK, the nanobébé bottle truly is “feeding reinvented.” We love it and think you will too.
Have you tried it? If so, please share your experience in the comments below! We’d love to hear about it.
Thank you to nanobébé for making this sponsored post possible!
