Any mummies with toddlers who falls sick every month? My gal who is 2 and a half falls sick every month since she was 3 months old!
How to prevent them from falling sick like flu, fever, diarrhoea, endless list! Its always one after another! Should I be very worried and seek expertise help? The PD says its common. Any advice? Thanks! |

It's quite common, kids not only fall sick when they attend childcare. Sometimes, they get virus from shopping malls and other environment. Basically, their immune system is not fully developed yet.
My mom put some cordyceps into DD's porridge ocassionally - to boost her lungs. I serve DD Sambucol 2-3 times a week to boost up her immune system. When see that she's coming down with flu, then gave her stronger dosage. It's actually stop the cold/flu in developing further. |

Sambucol is available at Vitakids. I find that giving my daughter Childlife Colustrum (with Probiotics), Childlife Multivitamins and Nordic Naturals DHA since she's a bb is helpful. So far, only sick 2 times, now 18 mths. |

Hi,
My gal who is coming to 3YO next Feb also keeps falling sick! Aiyo, she can cough for 1 week, okay for 2 weeks, and start coughing again out of the blue.
I get so tired and sick as well, really pity her. We have a nebuliser at home whc she uses when she starts to wheeze.. and she hasnt started Childcare. I cant imagine her health when she really starts CC, whc shld be either next mth or come January.
Heard abt Sambucol for the longest time. Does it really help?
Pls advise. thanks. |

my kids used to fall sick very often too! my advice ... bring them for TCM massage.
son used to be skinny since young, and got very sensitive nose, fall sick every month and immune system poor. started him with TCM massage since he was 2 yrs plus. condition improves, starting to put on weight about 1.5 yrs after i started him with the TCM massage. now he is in P1, eating well, growing well and fall sick less often. even if sick also recovers fast.
now my little 2 yrs plus, also bring her for the TCM massage.
believe me ... the TCM massage thing works miracle. i also see malays, indians and even angmohs bringing their kids for this TCM massage.
mommies out there, dnt hestitate anymore, if ur kids fall sick very often, bring them for TCM massage. |

Hi KC,
If you can afford, I think it's good to go on a regularly basis to at least build up your kid's immune system. I think it's worthwhile lor.
I know it's far, I myself is staying in Woodlands and travel there once a week for my little girls massage session. :-) |

My boy also fall sick almost every month ever since he started his nursery. I thought this is common to have cough and running nose.
I had tried to feed him fish oil but don't seems to work.
Do let me know if you have any recommendation to boost up his immune system and health.
Thanks |

That's true.. I find my girl falling sick more often ever since she started preschool. I guess it is common since so many kids are around? Hoping to build up her immunity with more vitamins and healthier diet.

Hi,
My younger gal who has in childcare since last year dec till now, but she seldom falls sick. Not like her sister who almost every week sick. I let her take Mannabear from Mannatech brand. Both my gals take it for 1 month & their appetite improves & get healthy.
My younger gal is allergy to dairy products since born & she has been on isomil milk. Whenever she eats cream cake, pizza etc, she will have diarrhao & stomach upset.
But after she takes mannabear for 1 month, during her birthday celebration, we let her eat cake & pizza, she does not encounter any diarrhao & stomach upset. Now, we are very happy as when we want to eat pizza, she also can eat unlike last time we have to consider her problem.
If anyone interested to know more of this product, can pm me or email me @ angela_siah@yahoo.com.sg for more information. |

My bb gal also keep falling sick since she is about 9months old. we went to this doc who prescribe a syrup for her that contains vit c and zinc. its suppose to booast her immune system. She dun catch flu bug that easily after taking the first bottle. I am feeding her the second bottle now.
I rather buy from a clinic than to go to GNC or watson to buy vitamin for kids.
i dun have the name of the vitamin now but maybe i will check and post it here. |

When a child grow older 6yrs & above, they will have better immune & not easily fall sick.
However, the most important thing is how fast can they recover. If they hv stronger body, they recover faster e.g a flu & cough can last from 1weeks or 1mth.
Therefore, it is good to consistently give multi Vit to bulit strong foundation till they old. |

My elder one is 2yo n younger one is 1yo. My 2 started to fall sick quite frequently since they were few mths old. But it worsens these 2 mths. It's like every other wk.
Normally I'll add carrots n broccoli into their porridge. But I stop giving them fruits ever since they start to cough badly last mth. |

Hi Peggy,
not to worry yet if it starts worsen only recently to every other week. you start to give warm water,warm soup and even double boil apple soup with meat bones or fish bones,meat. still can remedy fast.
Mine has been sick every two weeks for the past two years tgat i only recently start to realise multivit,warm drink,double soup,etc will help. |

Hi mummies,
Giving ur child soup is a very good choice.
Yes, its true they need water, but not too much a day too as its causes more air in their stomach. When they are having dinner, either rice or porrige, give them a bowl of soup instead of water, u actually find that they eat more.
This is taught by my baby doc, I did that for both my child since 6-mths when they start having solid. I gave them abt 30ml-60ml of water abt 30-mins later after meal.
During meal, I only gave them a bowl of soup instead.
Advoid too much yakult/vitagen/ribena as they causes alot of phelgm. U can give them just once a week will do.
Very simple soup is already very nutritious for them, boil them with pork bones, chicken neck, fish bones.
Pear tea with honey is good for cough.
Just boil water with some pear(SHUI LI) and add small pcs honey rock sugar for 30-mins, cool to warm n let them drink.
Only child after 1-yrs old can add honey, if bb is below 1-yrs old, just boil the pear for them to drink as fluid. 1-2 times a week is perfect.
Hopes these helps!! |

For manuka honey, you need to check if it is registered under UMF Honey Association in NZ so that you can be sure that the UMF is as it claims.

I think yakult and yoghurt has a lot of sugar in it, those found in the supermarket also contains preservatives which may not be very good for kids who are too young. |

Children nowadays are more prone to flu/viral infections for various reasons, including a lack of nutritional diet. How many children actually take fruits and vegetables on a daily basis? Thats why is a must for my children to be on dietary supplements, good and safe from Pharmanex, This is what i give them daily, jungamal, marine omega,probio and G3. When they fall sick, I will quickly add colostrum. |

My little girl actually falls sick every month since small as she is attending the infant care. Ask doctor but was told "Your little girl will stop falling sick if you reduce family size (I live in a 4 generations family house), stop work and take care of girl myself".
Why your gal still falls sick when she is not in CC, I don't really know. Can be due to your lifestyle. Even though your girl is not going CC, she is going out often? Your family size is as big as mine? Diet not good enough since she may be picky eater?
I let (and sometime forces) my little girl to eat vegetables every meal for every single day. PDs don't advise supplements "tablets" if possible.
Another thing I also find that may also have helped with my girl's immune system is this supplement that we had started in the family.
Google "4Life" and read about their supplements. I can said that it works really well for the whole family. It is some sort of colostrum as well.
However, you can also run the risk of your immune system being so super that it will reject other people's blood in blood transfusion. Thus my husband has stopped my little girl from eating it after 3 bottles lasting 1 year. |
