    I have the Metagenics flora care for Kids as well and it's pretty good. I don't give it all the time, usually just when they are a little low because that is usually when they will get sick and I use it if they have diahhroea. You can also get inner health plus for kids, but not sure what age they can have that.

    We tried a Daycare Defence (30 day thing) and Pentavite and in reality it didn't stop anything, we started after DD's second bout of Croup, which was only a fortnight after the first, and she got another 7 respiratory infections over the rest of the year and numerous colds, so I don't hink for us it made any difference, so we are just going with the fact that she should have a better immune system this year

    Are you washing his hands before you leave the centre? Then the bath when you get home, it's a really good way to prevent germs. Other than that the probiotics are great, and in time the immune system gets used to the onslaught and starts to cope better.

    Vitaminc C.
    The best thing out for preventing illness and boosting ones natural defences. You can get liquid squirts you can pop straight into his mouth or mix with his bottles or foods, or of course straight chewable tablets if you think he can handle them.

    And like Bath said, the only way he will build an immune system is to have it attacked.
