She was sick for 15 months after starting daycare. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-lo-get-sick-a-lot-after-starting-daycare-or-preschool#post-1677967 Wed, 04 Jun 2014 11:18:22 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 1677967@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: this makes me feel better! LO #1 got sick all the time... and I am just bracing myself for LO #2, who just started on Monday! But maybe he won't get sick as much since he's already been exposed to all sorts of germs that his big sis brought him from daycare. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-lo-get-sick-a-lot-after-starting-daycare-or-preschool#post-1677959 Wed, 04 Jun 2014 11:16:39 +0000 LuLu Mom 1677959@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, I was so worried, but she's generally been a pretty healthy kid. She's in an in home so it's a smaller number of kids so I think that helps. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-lo-get-sick-a-lot-after-starting-daycare-or-preschool#post-1677902 Wed, 04 Jun 2014 11:05:37 +0000 Bookish 1677902@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. She gets sick at least twice a month, and was sick the entirety of last month. I hate it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-lo-get-sick-a-lot-after-starting-daycare-or-preschool#post-1677899 Wed, 04 Jun 2014 11:02:57 +0000 Alivoo01 1677899@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup! Every month, he comes home with something and shares it with mommy. 1st month there (October), he caught RSV. A couple months later, he caught the flu. In between and recently, a cold. He also had an upper respiratory infection last month, that the entire family caught and am still trying to recover from! He also constantly has a runny nose and drainage cough. :(</p> <p>Hoping year 2 at daycare goes better! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-lo-get-sick-a-lot-after-starting-daycare-or-preschool#post-1677886 Wed, 04 Jun 2014 10:57:54 +0000 prettylizy 1677886@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, but we lucked out. She is in a home daycare and is the only full time kiddo </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-lo-get-sick-a-lot-after-starting-daycare-or-preschool#post-1677876 Wed, 04 Jun 2014 10:54:51 +0000 littlebug 1677876@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He started in April last year and hardly ever got sick. I thought we really lucked out. Then this winter hit and he was sick a LOT. Ear infection, strep infection, respiratory infection, and HFM. Ugh. It was like the never-ending illness. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-lo-get-sick-a-lot-after-starting-daycare-or-preschool#post-1677875 Wed, 04 Jun 2014 10:54:36 +0000 heartonastring 1677875@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not yet...she's been in full-time daycare for about 6 weeks now, but I think maybe she started at a good time because it was after cold/flu season, and also she's in a home daycare so there are only five kids.</p> <p>I'm preparing for a brutal winter with lots of colds though :/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-lo-get-sick-a-lot-after-starting-daycare-or-preschool#post-1677866 Wed, 04 Jun 2014 10:52:55 +0000 Andrea 1677866@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not a lot. She has a good immune system so we just lucked out I guess. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-lo-get-sick-a-lot-after-starting-daycare-or-preschool#post-1677856 Wed, 04 Jun 2014 10:51:16 +0000 cascademom 1677856@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The first year was the worst. I think that LO and I went to the doctor about 6 times. This past year hasn't been as bad. He's had the sniffles here and there. His ear infection took me by surprise because he'd been healthy for a long time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-lo-get-sick-a-lot-after-starting-daycare-or-preschool#post-1677839 Wed, 04 Jun 2014 10:48:40 +0000 lawbee11 1677839@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mainly just colds (congestion, sneezing, coughing). And of course the resulting ear infections. She hasn't gotten anything worse than that yet--no RSV, HFM, strep, pink eye, etc. *knock on wood* </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-lo-get-sick-a-lot-after-starting-daycare-or-preschool#post-1677820 Wed, 04 Jun 2014 10:43:46 +0000 Adira 1677820@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep! He was sick all the time (and so were we)!!! Now that he's been there a year, I hoping for less illnesses all around! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-lo-get-sick-a-lot-after-starting-daycare-or-preschool#post-1677815 Wed, 04 Jun 2014 10:42:22 +0000 autumnlove 1677815@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO 1- yes! Lots of colds/viruses/bronchiolitis/pneumonia and more, time off work, breathing treatments, antibiotics and doctor visits the first year. </p> <p>LO 2- just a few times...whew! </p>
