Oh Janet! I misunderstood! LOL! It's a tough thing when you have little ones. We don't have immunity to "baby bugs" so we have to build antibodies!!! We've gone through it with both our grandchildren - because they are 10 years apart. All of us get sick the first 2-3 years with whatever they brought home. Then after about 3 years, we have baby bug immunity and bam! we are healthy again! I think it is a right of passage.
There are a few herbs that are supposed to boost immunity - e.g., garlic (I think), but I'm not sure how effective they are. One thing is for sure, stress DEPRESSES the immune system. The more stressed you are, the sicker you become.
