Eat right: Best thing for a healthy immune system is a good diet and plenty of sleep. With a new baby, the second is difficult, but a good well rounded diet is highly important especially if you are breast feeding.

No magic pill: Many people are looking for some "magic pill" to "boost their immune system". There is no such pill. However, there is a way to boost your immune system, live a healthy lifestyle. Proper diet, proper sleep- wake cycles, healthy environment, proper exercise are the foundation of good health and good immune health. Supplements should be used selectively to supplement a healthy diet.
