Hi I have always had a very good immune system and am hardly ever ill...that is until I had my little girl who is now nearly 5 months old. We have both been ill three times since xmas! Is there anything I can do to avoid this? I eat very healthily with loads of fruit and veg. I havent had an unbroken nights sleep since she was born but have combatted that with early nights so I am still getting around 8 hours a night. I'm breastfeeding which I thought would protect us both. She does have one bottle of formula in the evening before bed though. As I am breastfeeding I dont think I can take echinacae which is what I would normally do. I cant bare the thought that this is what it is going to be like forever! Any advice would be gratefully received x
