Cold
Baby got a cold? Ease congestion by propping up the head of the bed or mattress with a few books or a rolled up towel – it will help drain stuffy nasal passages. Art: Sir Quentin Blake
Soap
Your greatest ally in flu season is a bar of soap. Germs can live on surfaces (door handles, phones) for two hours or more, so regular hand washing (at least 20 seconds, and not missing your fingertips) is the best protection. Image: Tobias Weber
