This is part of a sponsored collaboration with AstraZeneca and DiMe Media. However, all opinions expressed are my own. #LittleLungs #RSVAwarenessMonth

Becoming a parent is the most amazing gift in the world, but that doesn’t mean that it’s the easiest. As soon as our children are born as parents we want to make sure that they are safe and healthy in ever possible way. Babies do not come with a manual, but when becoming parents we need to be aware of the difference diseases that could affect our babies. This month is RSV awareness month, making it the perfect time to educate to Learning Signs And Symptoms Of RSV Disease.

Learning Signs And Symptoms Of RSV Disease

First of all, what is RSV disease? RSV, standing for Respiratory Syndical Virus, is a common seasonal virus that spreads between the months of November and March. Unfortunately, it is the leading cause of hospitalization for babies in their first year of life and as parents we need to make sure that we are educated about the disease. 

All babies are at risk of RSV, babies born prematurely are more susceptible, merely because of the fast that their lungs are not fully developed. The good news is that there are resources and websites such as RSVProtection.com that can educate parents on RSV, how to prevent it, and what to do in case their child developed the disease.

If this is something that you no longer need you can print out for a friend or a family member who is expecting. As a community we need to help and educate each other about keeping our children protecting from serious diseases as Respiratory Syndical Virus.

We have enough worries in the world when it comes to our children’s education, nutrition, and health. Every little bit of help that we can give each other and become educated can save another child’s life.
