Clean and disinfect surfaces that are touched everyday (like kitchen counters, toilet handles, and the TV remote), especially when someone is sick.
When you’re sick, try to keep your distance from others to protect them from getting sick too. When you need to cough or sneeze, cover your mouth and nose with a tissue then throw it away immediately and wash your hands.
Vitamin D is vital for a healthy pregnancy and also helps baby’s bone growth. Parents, including pregnant and breastfeeding women, should consider a daily multivitamin to help meet their need of 600 IU of vitamin D each day.
