Paediatricians are quite important people who have chosen to attend to young children anytime once faced with different medical cases that need their attention.
Even though parenting can at times be difficult, paediatricians take the mandate to help parents do what is expected of them as far as their children's health is concerned.
Here is what parents should stop doing according to paediatricians;
1. Following everything you saw on the internet
The internet has eased access to information on different things. Even though most parents will first turn to the internet once they notice unusual symptoms in their babies, it is very important to confirm with a paediatrician before giving your baby any medication.
2. Ignoring the paediatrician's orders
To ensure that your child gets better health care, as a parent, you ought to follow the guidelines offered to you by your paediatrician since he/she is more informed on what your child needs to have good health.
3. Using antibiotics for any case of illness
Before opting to give your child an antibiotic, it is important to seek medical attention as you might not be sure what your child could be suffering from. In addition, continuous exposure of your child's immune system to antibiotics makes them more resistance and therefore you increase the risk of taking a longer period to heal in case of illness.
