She caught something on her fourth day at daycare and is sniffly, congested and cranky. Her temperature is ok but we have been using the snot-sucker several times a day! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-time-lo-got-sick#post-114562 Sun, 08 Apr 2012 02:38:19 +0000 cupcakemama 114562@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO had a cold at about 10 days old. Scared us silly. Hasn't really been sick since - until daycare! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-time-lo-got-sick#post-114518 Sat, 07 Apr 2012 20:32:47 +0000 heffalump 114518@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She was 8 months old, and I'm not breastfeeding so we just got lucky! It wasn't bad at all. She had a cold, runny nose and cough. She looked miserable the first day, but after that it got better quickly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-time-lo-got-sick#post-114501 Sat, 07 Apr 2012 18:43:56 +0000 owlmom 114501@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO didn't get sick for the first time until 5 months, and then it was just a mild runny nose. I had two bad colds prior to that, and fortunately she didn't catch either. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-time-lo-got-sick#post-114497 Sat, 07 Apr 2012 18:23:52 +0000 Andrea 114497@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She was 7 months and just started daycare so it was to be expected. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-time-lo-got-sick#post-114496 Sat, 07 Apr 2012 18:20:38 +0000 pelikila 114496@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My son didn't get sick until he turned 4 months old. He'd already been in daycare 2 months so I felt blessed to have it take that long. He caught a cold and then it turned into an ear infection so nursing was misery for him during that time but once the antibiotics started doing their thing life got back to normal. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-time-lo-got-sick#post-114473 Sat, 07 Apr 2012 16:06:56 +0000 chopsuey 114473@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think LO got sick for the first time when she was around 4-5 months old. I forget. I got sick first and gave it to her. :T I was EBF her too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-time-lo-got-sick#post-114434 Sat, 07 Apr 2012 14:27:02 +0000 katdevargas 114434@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>my lo was sick when she was like 2 weeks old, for a week. it sucked &amp; was very worrisome. I have no idea where she (and my mom &amp; I) got it from - the hospital? it was an upper respiratory infection &amp; she got it right around the time my milk came in.<br /> she had congestion (she could only eat 3-4 min at a time b/c she'd get frustrated &amp; just tstop &amp; cry after that since she couldn't breathe through her nose) &amp; a seal-bark cough. my sil is a pediatrician, so she kept an eye on her &amp; it didn't get abd enough to have to go anywhere. she did only gain about 1/2 the weight she ought've though, so I'm hoping her 1 month check up shows that her weight gain is better. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-time-lo-got-sick#post-114425 Sat, 07 Apr 2012 14:14:32 +0000 Mrs. Pen 114425@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I woke up today with a really sore throat, coughing and congestion. I'm not worried about LO (6 weeks) getting sick because I'm breastfeeding him, so he should be well protected. My sister said she has been sick 3-4 times since her 7 mos old son was born and he hasn't been sick once. </p> <p>When did your LO first get sick and how bad was it? </p>
