Your child frequently unwell? 10 steps to raising a super healthy kid

Give your children a wholesome diet

1. Breast-feed for at least four to six months if possible. There is good evidence that this increases immunity.

2. Have your baby immunised against childhood diseases like polio, diphtheria, tetanus and whooping cough unless there is a clear medical reason to the contrary. And don’t forget measles immunisation at the beginning of her second year when you may not be attending the baby clinic quite as often.
