How have things gone? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyones-lo-get-sick-more-after-weaning#post-1069368 Fri, 06 Sep 2013 01:31:22 +0000 erinpye 1069368@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not at all! So far at 16 months old, DD has only been sick once, with a double ear-infection while I was still nursing. Nothing since weaning (knock on wood). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyones-lo-get-sick-more-after-weaning#post-1069210 Thu, 05 Sep 2013 22:43:12 +0000 sarac 1069210@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I notice specifically that if I get sick first, my daughter will either not get it, or only get a weaker version. But if she gets sick first, we'll invariably get the same illness. So, I know she's getting the antibodies from my milk. I expect that to go away when she weans some day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyones-lo-get-sick-more-after-weaning#post-1068453 Thu, 05 Sep 2013 19:18:14 +0000 lemondrop 1068453@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not any more frequently than he did while breastfeeding. He goes to gym daycare several days a week, and has had one fever and cold since weaning. It wasn't right after weaning either. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyones-lo-get-sick-more-after-weaning#post-1068445 Thu, 05 Sep 2013 19:13:32 +0000 chopsuey 1068445@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD hasn't gotten sick since I weaned her! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyones-lo-get-sick-more-after-weaning#post-1045771 Tue, 27 Aug 2013 08:56:52 +0000 lizzywiz 1045771@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are starting to wean at 16 months but I am irrationally nervous that she will suddenly start getting sick more. She goes to daycare and I feel like she gets sick less than the other kiddos because of the nursing and that giving it up will mean snot city.<br /> Anybody have any experience with this? I would be a lot less nervous about weaning if I could put this one worry to rest ;-) </p>
