How to increase immune system

[chepie]

We have been giving Aiden Probiotics (Inner health) - I mix it into his milk in the mornings and it has really helped his appetite and his eczema... swear by it!!

Crap ignore me. I totally missed the DS bit. I thought you were talking about you. Very tired clearly!

lol Kelly, I was kinda wondering how i was meant to get ds to swallow two cloves of garlic, was imagining some wrestling match

Don't clean the house too much.
Is he in daycare at all?

[Beautitude]

No chance of me cleaning the house too much lol. No he isn't in childcare, we do swimming lessons and do playgroup once a week. We have also just recently started doing kindergym so plenty of chance for his to catch germs off other kids

[onthefly]

Oh good. So many reasons why that would be unhealthy
Ummm, washing hands after any interaction with other kids...? That's the only thing I really know.
I think they can get to the point where they just need a time-out because their little bodies and immune systems are so totally overrun, especially when they're little.

We've had similar issues. Sam's in day care one day per week. I try to feed him stuff with lots of garlic (my immune system has been pretty run down too) so we've been eating lots of spag bol lately! We use brauers recovery tonic when he has bugs, and that does seem to help him get over them a little faster. The other thing I've taken to doing - thoroughly cleaning his face and hands as soon as possible after daycare or when he's spent time with other kids. I've even taken to going over him thoroughly with the wipes as soon as we get in the car - when we got home just wasn't soon enough!

I need to know this too! DS is the same at the moment, just sickness after sickness. He's not even in daycare!

LOL at the garlic wrestling match .
