Online and in the shops: Immune boost

Immune boost: Worried about protecting your kids from winter colds?

Sambucol Kids combines two immunity boosters — black elderberry extract and vitamin C. Black elder-berry extract has also been shown to shorten the duration of a cold. This berry-flavoured liquid can be taken by children aged one to 12 and costs €9.49 for 120ml from pharmacies and health stores.

¦ Weather proof: Keep your toddler warm and dry as the days get colder with the Stars Infant Bundler, €43.20, from American company Hatley. With comfy terry lining and adjustable boot straps, this waterproof suit is available in sizes 12-18m, 18-24m and two/three years and also comes in a pretty birds design. It’s part of the collection of maternity and childrenswear from Bumps ‘n’ Babies, a new website set up by Cork mum-of-three Catherine Daly; http:// bumpsnbabies.ie
