Hi All

I have never really been an ill person. Maybe having 1 or 2 bad colds a year but rarely getting really poorly.

Since having my little boy 6 months ago i have been nothing but ill (which is really getting me down now). I have caught every cold going, had a chest infection, ear infection, sickness & dioreah twice and tonsilitus too. In the space of six months! The baby has not been very well either and it sems that if we come into contact with anyone slightly ill, we both come down with it. Baby's dad doesnt seem too!?!

I am breast feeding, so that should be helping baby's immune system... but is there anything i can do?

Thanks for your help guys xxx

Try taking a zinc supplement daily - available at chemist and supermarket. It will boost your immunity and also aid the uptake of vitamin C into your cells to aid recovery.
