I hope you all feel better soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/we-cant-get-well#post-716484 Mon, 15 Apr 2013 10:26:33 +0000 mediagirl 716484@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Well....we went through this. We have all been healthy for 2 straight weeks and it is a miracle. I think it's because we're through the worst of it at daycare and we're moving out of flu/cold season. You'll get there....I'm sorry you're all on a sick rotation. :( I've been there, I can commiserate. </p> <p>It took us 6 months of daycare to stop getting every single disease that went around... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/we-cant-get-well#post-716471 Mon, 15 Apr 2013 10:23:34 +0000 runsyellowlites 716471@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sorry y'all havent been well. :( I would start taking a probiotic since the bulk of our immune system is in our gut. Also Vit D is essential for good immunity (taken along some cal-mag to help absorbtion). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/we-cant-get-well#post-716442 Mon, 15 Apr 2013 10:15:57 +0000 Mrsbells 716442@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yes to lots of handwashing, eating lots of fresh fruit and veggies and taking supplements too and drinking lots of water </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/we-cant-get-well#post-716434 Mon, 15 Apr 2013 10:13:21 +0000 looch 716434@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I thought of something else, get an air purifier. The humidifer actually aggravated my son's cold. Our ped recommended against it, especially if there are a lot of allergens in your home, from carpets, pets, etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/we-cant-get-well#post-716430 Mon, 15 Apr 2013 10:12:33 +0000 babynumber1 716430@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We went through this all winter. Wash hands, santize (especially right after daycare pick up) and as soon as LO starts with a cold, I start taking airborne twice a day. It has really helped. </p> <p>@2PeasinaPod: I never thought about the toothbrush! That was a big duh moment! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/we-cant-get-well#post-716420 Mon, 15 Apr 2013 10:09:59 +0000 2PeasinaPod 716420@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh, and another...throw out your tooth brush (or tooth brush head if using an electric one) after you've gotten over your sickness. You'll be putting those germs right back into your mouth if you don't! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/we-cant-get-well#post-716414 Mon, 15 Apr 2013 10:08:16 +0000 looch 716414@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wash your hands, wash your LO's hands, change your pillow cases and sheets!</p> <p>I've managed to stay healthy all winter, despite sharing a bed with my LO who's been on a nebulizer and antiboitics for the last 2 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/we-cant-get-well#post-716413 Mon, 15 Apr 2013 10:07:10 +0000 2PeasinaPod 716413@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I know this sounds silly, but just keep washing your hands after everything! Some people are just more prone to sickness unfortunately. My brother almost always catches whatever my niece and nephew bring home from day care and there's nothing he can do to stop it. The good thing is...spring and summer are coming, so hopefully, the warmer weather and being able to open your windows will help get those germs out! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/we-cant-get-well#post-716407 Mon, 15 Apr 2013 10:04:39 +0000 lindseykaye 716407@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Commenting so I can follow. I wish I knew or had advice for you. I just passed this stomach virus I've been battling for close to a week on to DH.<br /> I can only hope that LO will be spared and that we'll both eventually feel well again soon (and at the same time would be nice). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/we-cant-get-well#post-716351 Mon, 15 Apr 2013 09:46:17 +0000 DillonLion 716351@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The combination of daycare, no time to eat well/exercise, and disturbed sleep means that one of us is always sick lately, and we seem to just pass our germs around to each other. </p> <p>I am sitting here at work with the worst nausea and absolutely cannot take any more time off because I have missed so much already with maternity leave and doctor visits/illnesses since I've been back. </p> <p>Ugh. What can we do to improve the health in our household? </p>
