Yes picking up bugs and germs are eventually going to happen with our children but if we can avoid them from being sick and sharing with others then I’m sure we’d all prefer this! It’s too stressful caring for a sick bubba, especially when they are too young to talk and tell you what’s wrong.

Thank you for the information.

Good to know. although i realise my kids will get sick when they do i tend to stress about every symptom. Oh dear they have a fever, i better not leave them for a second. etc etc. I know this is slightly obsessive but i cant help it. I hope as they get older it will get easier. I hate it when my kids are sick.

  I’m the same. The kids get sick and I’m a paranoid basket case. I hunt the doctors down till my gut feeling goes away. And when I find out what’s wrong I stay on the kids tail till their on the mend. Yep, crazy mama I am, but hey, they aren’t replacable

Thank you for giving me the info

Thankful to the team for this really helping info

thanks for this. I have been giving my dd inner health plus and now she is over 12 mnths i will start giving her yakult.

My girls are generally sick in the colder months. I’m all for building stronger immune systems, but I’m very much against carers sending very sick kids to school, the kids need to be home in bed and cared for not at school/shops spreading whatever about. I understand people work and have no one to care for their child, maybe the government can look into that. As for my 2, when they are ill, they are home and kept away from others. My youngest, she eats everything and I mean everything, sofa, flies, carpet, more flies, she hunts flies. If I see her I stop her obviously.

Thanx for a great article, really interesting:)

Very interesting, great advice. Definataly going to share this one.

What a great piece. Some interesting and handy info in this, thank so much for sharing.

Thank you a great informative piece.

Informative topic thanks for covering

Very informative video. I will admit, I was worried about my daughter’s immune system but this has put me at ease a little.
Thank you.

Very informative and interesting. Great video.

Great video. My girls love playing in the dirt and have friends but aren’t in day care so I’m not sure how strong their immune system is but at home with me they very rarely get sick

Sadly my poor little ‘puter goes into a slightly hysterical meltdown at the thought of running a video…. Wouldl love to see a transcript!

my son gets sick everytime we go on holidays! definately from all the new germs from the new people around us.
i didnt know sugar lowers immune system! this makes so much sense!

They say eating dirt is not all that bad …. Benefits … Mineral trace elements in the dirt your body lacks ! ?

A child needs to be exposed to bacteria to strengthen their immune system

getting sick is just part of life the kids just have to go thru it.
