And now, the serious part — How to increase our child’s immune system? We have practice this since day 1 and below we have compiled a list that we practice: -

7 Simple Ways to Increase Child’s Immune System

Number 1

Offer Plenty of Water

Drinking water is important for adults and children alike. By making sure our child drinks plenty of water, not only it boosts her immune system by creating more frequent bowel movement (meaning needs to change her nappy more frequent too!), but it also helps to keep her hydrated, which is important in a tropical country like Malaysia.

Number 2

Offer Plenty of Fruits & Vegetables

Besides water, we also provides our child plenty of fruits and vegetables. Occasionally, we feed our child with kiwi fruits, tomatoes, cherry tomatoes and apples, and include tomatoes, broccoli, carrots in her porridges and rice. Fruits and veges are rich in vitamin C and antioxidants and these help to boost her immunity.

Number 3

Promote Laughter

Laughter is the best medicine and is good for health. We always try to make her laugh by making funny faces and by doing many other gestures even in the public! It may make us look silly, but the most important thing is our child is happy at all times. And oh, Jezebelle has plenty of facial expressions too. We have to admit, her expressions made us laugh and keep us happy in return!

Number 4

Encourage Exercising, Playing & Learning

Exercise is also important as it helps to make her immune system works more efficiently. Occasionally, we take her out to the park and sometimes for a sunbath as vitamin D from the sun is vital too. We also spend a lot time playing with her.

Number 5

Boost Sleep Time

Sleeping is just as vital as it helps to make our child’s immune system to function properly. We make sure she gets at least 11 to 13 hours of sleep daily including 1-3 hours of naps during the day.

Number 6

Combine Breastfeeding & Formula

While breastfeeding is the best nutritional choice for many, the commitment to breastfeed for a year is not realistic and therefore, it is utmost important to select a good formula for your child. We started giving our child Frisolac Gold formula milk after 3 months of breastfeeding.

Number 7

Get Immunizations/Vaccinations

Now, the most important part in boosting immunization is by getting immunizations or vaccinations for our child by following the immunization schedule to ensure she is well-protected against diseases. Younger children are quite prone to viruses and it is important to get vaccinated.

According to physicians at Johns Hopkins Children’s Center, consuming too much water can put babies at risk of a potentially life-threatening condition known as water intoxication.

Dropping/Lightening

The baby is settling deeper into your pelvis and notice less pressure just below your ribcage thus making it easier to breathe.

Bloody show: Loss of Mucus Plug

As you gets closer to labor, the mucus plug discharges as cervix begins to dilate. The plug may come out as a plug, a lump, or simply as increased vaginal discharge over several days. The mucus may be tinged with brown, pink, or red blood, which is why it is sometimes referred to as ‘bloody show’.

Water Breaking

You may feel like a large gush or a small trickle of fluid leaks from your vagina. If this happens, you should call you doctor or midwife right away. When your water breaks, labor usually comes later. Most doctors will induce labor if the water has broken and labor does not begun on its own within 24 hours to prevent possible infections.

Nesting: Spurt of Energy

You might wake up one morning feeling energetic, raring to attack dust bunnies under the couch, set up the crib and arrange your baby’s outfits according to color. This urge to clean and organize is commonly known as nesting.

Effacement: Thinning of the Cervix

Usually in the last month the cervix begins to stretch and thin. This process means the lower segment of the uterus is getting ready for delivery. A thin cervix will also allow the cervix to dilate more easily.

Your health care provider may check for effacement in the final 2 months of pregnancy.

Dilation: Opening of the Cervix

Dilation is the process of the cervix opening in preparation for childbirth.

In the same way that your health care provider may be checking for effacement in the last 2 months, your health care provider may also tell you how many centimeters your cervix has dilated.

Consistent Contractions

When you begin to experience regular uterine contractions, this is the strongest indication that you are in labor. These contractions may feel like menstrual cramps or a lower backache that comes and goes, and during early labor they may be as far apart as 20 to 30 minutes. Over the course of several hours your contractions will typically begin occurring at shorter intervals; and you may notice they start happening every 10-15 minutes or less. When your contractions are consistently 5 minutes apart, it is time to call your health care provider.

In the latest study, Dr. Elizabeth W. Triche of Yale University in New Haven, Connecticut and colleagues write chocolate may reduce pregnancy complication risk while a recent medical study says pregnant women should eat dark chocolate daily.

These dark chocolates contain a chemical named theobromine which has positive effects on diuresis, myocardial stimulation and vasodilatation. Other chemicals in chocolate include magnesium, which lowers hypertension, and flavanoids, which are potent antioxidants.

The conclusion is chocolate is good for pregnancy while dark chocolate is the best.
