Is there anything to help strengthen a newborns immune system?

Question

My newborn is 6 days old today and her doctor called this morning with lab results and said she had an abnormality in her immune system which means she’s more likely to get sick and it’ll take longer to fight it off if she does get sick. Is there anything that helps with that? Preferably natural ways but anything helps
*i can’t breastfeed*

Answer

Breastfeeding... that’s about it

Answer

I'd say breastfeeding mainly. You could also ask the Dr if probiotics might help. Good luck!

Answer

Unfortunately at 6 days old, even if there was a medication or natural supplement I don't think you would be able to give it to her. I'd talk to her pediatrician about it and until then just keep her away from large crowds and make sure people wash and/or sanitize their hands before holding her and make sure if they feel even a little off, even if they say it's just allergies, absolutely no contact with baby. If you have small children and they go to daycare or Pre-K sanitize them when they get home. Good luck!
