We had about three months of hell with illness and then it got a lot better. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/multiple-kids-in-daycare-and-illnesses#post-2255618 Wed, 05 Aug 2015 14:00:29 +0000 Mamaof2 2255618@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS was sick a TON until age 2 and then it just kinda stopped.</p> <p>He gets sick maybe once a year now?</p> <p>DD never got as sick as DS (she started DCP at 15 months though).</p> <p>They have never been sick at the same time except for colds. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/multiple-kids-in-daycare-and-illnesses#post-2255614 Wed, 05 Aug 2015 13:58:06 +0000 catlady 2255614@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If you have two or more in daycare, what has your experience been like with illnesses? Is it twice as bad as a single child or does the older kid stop getting sick as often?</p> <p>We've been through the ringer this year with illnesses and were planning to TTC #2 soon but looking back at what we've gone through over the past 6 weeks alone (HFM, roseola, AND strep throat), I'm starting to wonder if I'm crazy for thinking about it. LO is 22 months if that makes a difference. I wish I could say it was just her getting sick, but most of the time we all get it (still can't believe I got HFM), so that's where I get worried. </p>
