I'm on my 3rd cold so far this season. Every time DD brings a cold home from pre-school, I am sure to get it the next week. I work in health care so it's really hard for me to be sick or to call in sick. I try to wash my hands a lot and stay hydrated. Other than that, how do you stay healthy??

I don't. I'm always sick. Hoping to see some good advice on here!

Vitamin D!

Hand washing, multivitamin, I chew on Vitamin C tablets, hardcore dose on echinacea and zinc when I start to feel symptoms, neti pot every night, and put hot soup (preferably spicy) using good bone broth on the menu rotation regularly when it starts to get cold. I also like to eat more dark greens.

We are obsessive about handwashing. We try to play outside vs. in. Lots of greens, fruits and veggies, garlic, homemade soup!

I wish I knew! I just got over a cold last week and am getting another now.

The moment we walk in the door from daycare we wash hands. My LO also gets a bath every night, we only wash her hair every few days. I do think this helps, but maybe it just makes me feel better about not bringing so many germs in! This is more a tip when I start to get sick- I make a tea of ginger, honey and lemon. Try to drink three cups a day at the first onset of a cold. I swear it nips it in the bud and definitely shortens any illness.

Sleep seems to be what helps my immune system the most. I try not to get too stressed or overtired (difficult with a toddler!). I also take a multi-vitamin and try to keep my and LO's hands as clean as possible.

I need to be more on-the-ball with washing hands after school. I often get wrapped up in everything else and forget. I think I'll also start the neti-pot every night.

Elderberry tabs at the first sign of a cold! And hand-washing, adequate rest, etc:..
