Precautions for a 1-Month-Old Baby Against Dengue 1. Use Physical Barriers ✅ Mosquito Nets: Always use mosquito nets over cribs, strollers, and sleeping areas. ✅ Dress Baby Properly: Long sleeves and pants made of breathable cotton fabrics. ✅ Cover Windows and Doors: Use mesh screens to keep mosquitoes out. ✅ Mosquito Coils or Vaporizers: Use them outside the baby’s room to reduce mosquito populations but avoid direct exposure to fumes. 2. Keep the Surroundings Clean ✅ Eliminate Breeding Grounds: Regularly empty and clean containers with standing water (flowerpots, buckets, etc.). ✅ Use Larvicidal Treatments: For water storage containers (ensure they are covered). 3. Avoid Chemical Repellents on Baby’s Skin For a 1-month-old, DO NOT use any mosquito repellent sprays, creams, or essential oils directly on skin or clothing. No patches or roll-ons should be used for babies this young. 4. Indoor Control ✅ Fans: Use fans to keep air moving, as mosquitoes are weak fliers. ✅ Air-Conditioned Rooms: If possible, use AC to deter mosquitoes. Recognizing Dengue Early If your baby develops: High fever Irritability, poor feeding, lethargy Rash or bleeding (gums, nose, bruises) Seek immediate medical care.
