What can I do to boost my immune system?
I swear I NEVER used to get sick.
I had an immune system of steel!
Now with the baby in daycare and picking up germs, and me getting no sleep and the stress of being a FTWM, I feel like I am literally sick every other week!
I feel like someone can sneeze in the next county and I'll be sick the next day!
Do you guys take anything or do anything that you feel helps boost your immunity? I don't even mind being sick myself so much (not that it doesn't SUCKKKK) but I feel like I'm passing it to the baby too!
Probiotics? Airborne? Multi vits?
Anything help?

I rarely get sick, even with being a FTWM. I take a multiple vitamin everyday. I also take Emergen-C, and drink Green Tea everyday, and try to exercise at least 4 times a week.

Oh and my mother who is a nurse and is around sick children all day everyday absolutely swears by Stonyfield Farm yogert. I guess it has a lot of probiotics in it.

I need to get back to the vitamins.
After I stopped my pre nats I just stopped.
I have seen the Emergen C but I have to watch with too much Vitamin C because I have kidney stones and excess Vitamin C in the urine can cause stones.
Green tea is probably good though.
And exercise - yeah ummm  - not too good with that.
But I know I should make more of an effort!!!!

Probiotics. I hear those are very good for your immune system.

I do take Align for my digetive issues since having my gallbladder out.
I am not sure that that particular strain is good for immunity too though...
