Can reduce!: Children are going to get colds. That being said, there are measures one can take to reduce the number that they may otherwise get. The simplest way is to practice proper hygiene and handwashing techniques! everyone should make sure their hands are clean before handling the baby. Also, avoiding places where there are large numbers of people can be helpful and reduce exposure to viruses.
