Whenever I enter discussions about nasty viruses and children falling ill from it— my heart always aches. Having lost a child from something that may seem as mild as a “flu bug”, I understand the severity of it.
Have you heard of Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV)? It is a highly contagious virus that could cause serious breathing issues like bronchiolitis and pneumonia. RSV is easily spread through coughs, sneezes, and close physical contact, like cuddles and kisses.
To help protect your baby from RSV, limit close physical contact with people who may show signs and symptoms of flu. Keep regularly washing hands and disinfect toys and surfaces on a regular basis! Feel free to comment below sharing experiences (if any), so all moms could benefit from it! We’re in this together, fellow mamas! Visit TogetherAgainstRSV.sg for more info!

What is Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) ?
It is a member of the pneumovirus family and a highly transmissible respiratory viral disease.RSV is highly infectious and circulates in Singapore throughout the year!
It is a leading cause of respiratory viral infections in infants < 2 years old, particularly <12 months of age.
Many parents are unaware of RSV and do not know that they need to prepare for this respiratory illness. Even if their child presents with respiratory symptoms, they are often dismissed as "a cold."
RSV symptoms also make it difficult to distinguish it from the common cold or other respiratory viruses (like the flu or COVID-19).The risk of severe RSV disease to all infants is poorly understood, leading to downplaying and inaction.
I’m honored to be part of this project to start raising the awareness of RSV in Singapore.
Let’s equip ourselves with knowledge and prevention resources.

As a mother of five, I know how quickly illnesses can spread in a household. One child gets sick, and before you know it, everyone is coughing and feeling unwell. 🤒🤧 But some viruses are more than just a passing cold—RSV (Respiratory Syncytial Virus) is one of them.
Two years ago, my oldest son, Leonardo was hospitalized with pneumonia caused by RSV. He spent five days in the hospital, struggling to breathe 😔, and even after he recovered, he had breathing issues for a year. It was a terrifying experience, and I never want any parent to go through the same fear and helplessness.
RSV is highly contagious, spreading through coughs, sneezes, and even surfaces like toys and utensils. 🧸🥄 With five kids, I have to be extra cautious because what starts as a mild cough for one can turn into something much worse for another.
Many parents don’t realize how serious RSV can be. It’s common, yet not widely talked about. Knowing the symptoms and how to reduce the risk is so important. If you’re a parent, I urge you to learn more about RSV and how to protect your little ones.

If you’re a new parent, Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) is most likely a term that might worry you 🥺 you might also have heard of bronchiolitis and pneumonia, which are infections caused by RSV. In fact, nearly 90% of all children are infected in RSV in the first two years of their lives 😣 that sounds super worrying - but tbh it doesn’t have to be.
You can protect your baby from RSV if you are aware of how it spreads - which is through coughs, sneezes, etc. It stays on surfaces of toys for many hours and can spread to other babies if they touch the same surfaces. You can definitely take steps to limit contact with this contagious virus. Learn more about RSV protect your precious little one today - more info in link in bio 😉 #RSV #TogetherAgainstRSV #InCollaborationwithSanofi

Have u heard of Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV)? Wished I had more awareness about this contagious virus that nearly all kids catch by age 2.
While mild for most, it can lead to serious breathing issues like bronchiolitis and pneumonia.

Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) — it’s more common than we think, but many parents don’t hear about it until their baby gets sick. This highly contagious virus spreads easily through coughs, sneezes, and even surfaces like toys and cribs. While it’s mild for most, it can lead to serious breathing issues for some babies.
As parents, we do our best to protect our little ones. That’s why learning about RSV early matters. Let’s raise awareness, share knowledge, and support each other.

Looking back at my little one’s first year, I remember how much I’m worried about his health. It was only after becoming a parent that I learned about Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) - a highly contagious virus that can lead to serious respiratory illnesses like bronchiolitis and pneumonia. What’s even scarier is RSV is unpredictable, and even full-term, healthy babies can end up hospitalized.
Fast forward to today and I’m so grateful to see him growing up happy and healthy. But I know not every parent is as lucky. Around 2 in 3 babies will get RSV by age one, so awareness is key!
If you’re ever concerned about your baby’s health, speak to your pediatrician or healthcare provider. Learn more at TogetherAgainstRSV.sg.

Hi moms and dads, let’s talk about Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV).
It’s way more common (and sneaky) than you think! RSV is a super contagious virus that affects babies‘ lungs and can make it hard for them to breathe. It often starts like a harmless cold, e.g. runny nose, cough, maybe a little fever. But for young babies, it can turn serious fast. My son caught RSV at just 5 months old, and we were so worried. Watching him struggle to breathe was terrifying. RSV spreads easily, so wash hands often, keep sick visitors away, and watch for signs like wheezing, fast breathing, or refusing to eat. If your baby seems off, trust your instincts and get them checked! RSV is super common, but knowing what to look for can make all the difference.
Stay alert, protect those little lungs, and take it seriously. It’s always better to be safe! Learn more at: www.togetheragainstrsv.sg (or link in bio!)
