Fall & Winter: Pumpkin‑Spiced Lattes, Cozy Sweaters, and Baby Colds
Picture this: you’re sipping a steaming pumpkin‑spice latte, swaddled in that fuzzy sweater that feels like a hug from the universe. It’s the season of comfort—yet it’s also the time when little ones become the biggest fans of a chilly baby cold.
Why the surge in colds? The cold air is a perfect pest‑crowding arena:
- Winter lowers the temperature, allowing viruses to thrive.
- Dry, chilly air dries out noses and makes babies more susceptible.
- Happy cuddles mean germs are on a merry‑go‑round.
Tip: Keep those tiny noses warm, dry, and from door‑to‑door trips with the doctor if you notice any signs of a sniffly situation.
What is a Cold?
A cold is basically a gentle infection, primarily caused by viruses that love the upper respiratory tract. Think of it as the classic “runny nose,” “sneezing,” and “I’m feeling a bit like a drizzle” drama that’s almost universally recognizable.
