First cold since weaning - how do i booste his immune system?

Posted 01/02/2013

my LO started out with a little barely there cough the day before christmas, which turned into a cold by the end of the week. almost a  week later we are still dealing with a cough, a sometimes runny nose and a depressed appettite.  this is his first cold since weaning - while Bf colds never lasted more than 3 or 4 days. how do i boost his immune system? he's not really wanting to eat, so getting extra veggies in him has been nealry impossible. he loves spinahc ravioli and spinach lassagna but turned his nose up at both. please help.

I had good success with echinacea drops and Hylands has a baby vitamin C tablet too. I also use the Hylands Tiny Colds tablets, they help a lot during. Oh, and they have a baby cough syrup too. Otherwise, there ate lots of foods that have antibacterial properties (garlic, coconut oil, etc) and u can add those into his diet. I don't use any antibacterial soaps or anything, since having an overly clean environment can make things worse. And remember that although it sucks to see them sick, its actually boosting their immune system to be exposed to germs.
Oh, and don't use echinacea full, ur body basically gets used to it and it quits being as effective. So maybe start now and quit in spring, etc.
Hope he feels better soon!
