She gets over them quick.</p> <p>DS didn't get his first real cold until about 2 months into daycare - I think it's because he was always exposed to DD's germs... and when he does get sick it's only 2-3 days too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-lo-has-a-cold-how-long-does-it-typically-last#post-1937047 Sun, 09 Nov 2014 23:16:21 +0000 Grace 1937047@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Generally a week of bad cold, maybe 2 for it to really be gone. But there are different colds. I'm on my 3rd or 4th week of trying to kick my cold. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-lo-has-a-cold-how-long-does-it-typically-last#post-1937039 Sun, 09 Nov 2014 22:45:05 +0000 coopsmama 1937039@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS has only had one cold so far (only 17 months old) and it lasted only 2-3 days. DH and I had it at the same time and had it for over a week! </p> <p>DD got a cold when she was six weeks old but it was better by 2 days, thankfully. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-lo-has-a-cold-how-long-does-it-typically-last#post-1937022 Sun, 09 Nov 2014 21:59:47 +0000 Foodnerd81 1937022@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>C has had a runny nose forever. It comes and goes but I feel like she is just going to have it from Sept through April. But it's mostly clear, so I don't really think it's a true cold? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-lo-has-a-cold-how-long-does-it-typically-last#post-1937018 Sun, 09 Nov 2014 21:54:14 +0000 MamaPhoenix 1937018@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are going on 16 days here. It's her first one ever and she just started daycare too. She was getting better towards the 10 day mark. She mucus went from highlighter yellow/neon green to clear and now back to the yellow/green. I honestly think the lo's are just passing it back and forth to each other. I also have a sick husband for the last 9 days. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-lo-has-a-cold-how-long-does-it-typically-last#post-1936857 Sun, 09 Nov 2014 18:44:13 +0000 ladybee 1936857@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bao: thanks, hopefully yours does too! M has asthma so that always makes stuff linger a little longer. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-lo-has-a-cold-how-long-does-it-typically-last#post-1936853 Sun, 09 Nov 2014 18:38:29 +0000 Bao 1936853@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ladybee: @winniebee: oh goodness!

We are going on day 7 here. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-lo-has-a-cold-how-long-does-it-typically-last#post-1936815 Sun, 09 Nov 2014 17:23:15 +0000 ladybee 1936815@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We've been battling a cold for 9 days now. Today is significantly better than last week but his constant runny nose and wet cough won't go away. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-lo-has-a-cold-how-long-does-it-typically-last#post-1936799 Sun, 09 Nov 2014 16:53:54 +0000 Bao 1936799@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO has had a cold for a good week now, and it will not let up. She seems happy overall but has the yuckiest runny nose. LO2 had a cold as well but it was gone in 2-3 days.</p> <p>If your LO catches a cold, how long does it typically hang on for? </p>
