Not sure if I should post here or in Toddlers but I figured I would start here...
My dd is 22 months and lately we've been getting "out" more such as going to story time and a playgroup. She keeps getting sick (one of the moms at playgroup always brings drippy-nosed children...AUGH) and I want to build her immune system a bit more. For what it's worth, she has been sick before, like when I babysat 2 other kids for a couple months. She's still happily nursing (around the clock), and lately we've added a d3 supplement (still unsure about dosing so I'm very conservative) to her and if we feel she's getting sick we mix a probiotic powder into something she's eating/drinking. We eat pretty healthy (we could always do better) and just this month, she's had her first real taste of chocolate...and loves it obv. Should I again cut out all sweets...I wanted to wait a long time and it just seemed one day to snowball out of control with one piece of chocolate (and now everyone offers it to her). We try to eat as organically and locally as we can afford, which means produce and meats. Grains are almost all conventional. I make most things from scratch. Just trying to cover all the bases.
Talk to me about what I can do before she gets sick and while she's sick.
She's never had abx and we try to treat her through diet or homeopathy (as a last resort).
Please help!
