Do you ever feel that your baby, toddler or child is continuously poorly?
“The missing link in the health of many babies being born today is establishing the presence of a healthy inner ecosystem where good microflora outnumber the bad.
In order to have a healthy inner ecosystem, a baby depends on his mother to inoculate him with healthy microflora at birth. While this seems easy enough, poor diet and lifestyle habits have robbed today's women of the healthy microflora so critical for baby's inner ecosystem.
One would hope that there would only be friendly bacteria in the birth canal but if a baby's mother doesn't have plenty of good microflora in her own digestive system and vagina, she won't be able to pass on healthy bacteria to her baby.
Unfortunately, studies show that as many as 85% of women have a vaginal infection when they give birth1 and pass on dangerous pathogens to their newborn babies instead of the beneficial bacteria that create a foundation for wellness.”
Having breastfed all three children (currently third baby still boobing at 19 months) I honestly thought that I had helped strengthen their immune system to the point that they would hardly get unwell.
❣️Eldest child rarely gets unwell (BF TIL 8 months)
❣️Second child (germ thief, catches everything going)
❣️Bonnie seems to get poorly with every tooth she cuts, when her immune system is at its most compromised.
So why are their immune systems SO different? The article link at the bottom totally makes sense and explains why and how probiotics can help your family fight off the germs.
A few months ago we invested in some high quality probiotics which I take as I am still nursing along (and Bonnie gets the benefits too) I also take food grade muiltvitamins (available from @Cytoplan.
We keep stock organic eldeberry syrup and various pure essential oils.
👌🤞 I must say, that we are defeating the winter germs so far!
I shared an article in my blog a while ago regarding Nature’s Way of Vaccibating our babies:

Giving your baby beneficial bacteria soon after birth can ensure proper colonization of healthy microflora in their intestines, and prevent food allergies that are so common today.
