For adults or older kids, a food borne illness is unpleasant, but usually not dangerous. Not so for babies and toddlers, whose immune systems aren't as ready to tackle tough bacteria. That's why you'll need to pay particular attention to food safety when you're in the kitchen. Make sure to wash your hands thoroughly before preparing any food, but be especially meticulous when you handle raw meat, poultry, fish or eggs.

Your visit to the bathroom each day might be a quick in and out, but bacteria like to hang around long after the toilet flushes. Though there are actually more germs in the kitchen (surprise!), plenty call the bathroom home. Pull the welcome mat out from under those germs by wiping down sinks, counter tops, toilet seats (especially if your son hasn't quite become the master of his aim yet) and tub and shower walls with disinfecting cleansers or wipes.

While you’ve worked hard to stress to your little one the importance of sharing and taking turns on playdates, there are a few exceptions to these golden rules when it comes to germ-prevention. Explain to your child that while it’s nice to let pals play with toys, there are things she should keep to herself — namely combs, brushes and hats (sharing these items is the number-one way lice spread from kid to kid); toothbrushes; cups, forks and drinking straws; whistles, horns and other objects you put your mouth on (good luck with that one!); and, of course, tissues.

Once your child has mastered the fine art of nose-blowing, get her into the habit of disposing dirty tissues right away, rather than leaving them lying around on a table or the floor: Some bacteria and viruses can live for two hours or more outside the body, so getting rid of tissues can make a big difference.

You may have heard it a million times by now, but regular hand washing is hands-down the best way to keep germs from spreading. So get your child to step up to the sink, especially at key times: before eating or heading to the playroom with a friend (this will keep germs on shared toys to a minimum), after coming in from playing outside and after sneezing, coughing, petting an animal or using the potty.

Your pediatrician reminds you about your child’s vaccine schedule at every visit. But to keep your family healthy, you and your partner need vaccines, too.
