Protecting Your Baby From Airborne Germs
Don't Feel Forced To Stay Home!
Raising a newborn baby can feel like the whole world is out to get you - even the air around you. And that's not too far from the truth - a babies' immune & respiratory system needs time before it's ready to fight off common bacteria. But overexposure to airborne pollutants can overwhelm a babies' immune system - with devastating consequences.
Air Pollution Can Lead To Long Term Health Issues
Studies have shown that exposure to airborne pollution such as CO, NO2, PM10 and others are linked to development of both short-term and long-term health issues among newborn babies...
- Bronchiolitis & Pneumonia: High exposure to air pollutants found in smoke are cited as a leading cause for hospitalization¹.
- Asthma: Exposure to air pollution such as car exhaust have been linked to early onset asthma within a child's first 10 years².
- Sudden Infant Death Syndrome: In extreme cases, heavy exposure to CO & NO2 during the post neonatal syndrome can result in sudden fatalities among babies³.

Fearing that a 30 minute walk can lead to lifelong health conditions, some parents opt to avoid bringing their baby outside entirely. Others take it up a notch by investing in powerful air purifiers that run all day long, then seal up their home as best as they can.
While your baby's health should always be a huge priority, that doesn't justify becoming hermits either! Modern motherhood essentials have come up with ways to keep your baby safe from airborne pollutants while away from home.
Stay Safe Anytime, Anywhere
Some innovative parents have started carrying portable air purifiers with them when going out with their baby.
Unlike their bulky & stationary siblings, portable air purifiers are designed to be easy to carry yet just as effective in filtering harmful substances from the air around you. And just as the name implies - they're designed to work without needing to be plugged in.
Here's a more in-depth breakdown of the key differences between a portable & conventional air purifier;
How Portable Air Purifiers Make Going Out Stress-Free
Now, we know what you're thinking - "Can something that small actually keep my baby safe?" And we get it - no parents wants to buy something that ends up being a total scam for their baby.
But a well-built portable air purifier has the same design principles as a conventional air purifier; the only major difference is the effective range. Portable air purifiers have a smaller effective coverage owing to its smaller intake & filter system - but don't worry. A well designed one will still guarantee a safe pocket of clean air aroudn your baby wherever you go.
Let's take a peek into how Supermama Lab's AirPury lets you and your baby breathe clean air on demand...
- One Touch Activation: The AirPury needs only one button press to be activated; once turned on, the AirPury's air quality indicator will show how many substances are present in the surrounding air then begin taking in nearby air.
- 4 Layered Filtration System: The AirPury's built-in air filters (preliminary, HEPA-13, activated carbon, anti-bacteria) will then start removing 99.9% of airborne contaminants & substances.
- Release Clean Air: The now-purified air is then released from the AirPury in a 3.7m³ radius centered around itself - that's big enough to safely cover a whole stroller or crib in purified air!
It's that simple! Whether you're still in your researching phase or you've already given birth, expecting your first child or are a mother to three, your baby's health is a huge responsibility to worry about. Invest in the right air purifier for the job that safeguards your family without compromising your lifestyle!
