All three of us were sick all winter- luckily the baby actually got it the least- and I credit breastfeeding for that. It's impossible to keep a sick but affectionate toddler from hugging the baby. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/12-day-preschool-did-your-lo-get-sick-a-lot#post-2601051 Tue, 09 Aug 2016 10:04:56 +0000 BabyTsMom 2601051@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh man, I am so nervous for the winter!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/12-day-preschool-did-your-lo-get-sick-a-lot#post-2601012 Tue, 09 Aug 2016 09:07:21 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 2601012@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Gah these responses are making me nervous. I was going to try my son in half day pre school once a week this fall (we tried last year and dropped or after three weeks 😬) but I don't want him and the new baby constantly sick... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/12-day-preschool-did-your-lo-get-sick-a-lot#post-2601007 Tue, 09 Aug 2016 08:58:24 +0000 mrsjazz 2601007@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She started preschool at age 3 and she was sick A LOT. Her whole class seemed to be in a vicious cycle of sickness. </p> <p>Hoping this year is different! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/12-day-preschool-did-your-lo-get-sick-a-lot#post-2600971 Tue, 09 Aug 2016 07:50:35 +0000 looch 2600971@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah, my son was sick a lot. He started at age 2, it was part time and in the winter. We were in and out of the doctor's office. I think it's the fact that kids are still mouthing toys a lot at that age, and that's how they spread it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/12-day-preschool-did-your-lo-get-sick-a-lot#post-2600950 Tue, 09 Aug 2016 06:42:08 +0000 katsupgirl 2600950@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My DD was definitely sicker but it wasn't too bad. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/12-day-preschool-did-your-lo-get-sick-a-lot#post-2600948 Tue, 09 Aug 2016 06:34:45 +0000 Andrea 2600948@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, not a lot. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/12-day-preschool-did-your-lo-get-sick-a-lot#post-2600942 Tue, 09 Aug 2016 06:04:51 +0000 fancyfunction 2600942@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I feel like she had a new cold every other week! But luckily they never materialized into anything worse. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/12-day-preschool-did-your-lo-get-sick-a-lot#post-2600868 Mon, 08 Aug 2016 21:17:32 +0000 Mrs Green Grass 2600868@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ditto. We've been back at school for a week and he's already got a runny nose! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/12-day-preschool-did-your-lo-get-sick-a-lot#post-2600836 Mon, 08 Aug 2016 20:01:20 +0000 oliviaoblivia 2600836@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup. It was a miserable winter. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/12-day-preschool-did-your-lo-get-sick-a-lot#post-2600826 Mon, 08 Aug 2016 19:40:49 +0000 ScarletBegonia 2600826@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My son started daycare at 10 months in the Australian summer. He was basically okay for about 4 months with just some minor stuff along the way, but he only probably missed a day or two. When "winter" (I use the term loosely as this is Australia we're talking about) hit, it was constant - colds, a couple of rounds of stomach flu, more colds, pink eye, and yet more colds. He was missing at least a day or two a week and was sick most weekends. It was a really tough 2/3 months, but we came out the other side and now, in the middle of his second winter at daycare, he's only missed 2 days total. His immune system seems super strong and he doesn't catch everything going around anymore - when he had to miss 2 days, I was told by his carer that his bff at daycare sneezed INTO his open mouth - so no great surprise there! Good luck - it sucks but its worth it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/12-day-preschool-did-your-lo-get-sick-a-lot#post-2600819 Mon, 08 Aug 2016 19:23:21 +0000 Foodnerd81 2600819@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My daughter started a drop off program at a local gym and almost 2.5, in November. She has been sicker that first six months than the rest of her life. It has sucked! But the big problem is that every cold turned into an ear infection. In just hoping that it's out of her system so when she starts preschool in September it won't be as bad. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/12-day-preschool-did-your-lo-get-sick-a-lot#post-2600817 Mon, 08 Aug 2016 19:19:46 +0000 BabyTsMom 2600817@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My newly-turned 2 yr old recently started a morning program, four days a week. He's having a great time so far! I'm curious, though, did those who had no previous daycare experience get sick a lot? So far, he's had some loose poops but no fevers or anything. I am aware that fall and winter are coming, so illness is probably a given....<br /> how bad was your LO's first fall and winter once they started preschool? </p>
