My 7 month old started daycare almost 2 months ago. About 5 days after he started he got a cold (which I got 3 days later). That cold turned into croup and he has been coughing and congested ever since then. He is currently on antibiotics for an ear infection. Last night his cough/congestion sounded worse again. And he has a fever now of 101.7. He's been spitting or throwing up this morning too and now some diarrhea. I don't know what to think! I guess it could just be one virus after another but the poor guy has never even fully recovered from croup from a month ago! So, call the doctor or assume it's just another virus that we'll all get?

Poor guy!!!
Do you run a humidifier every night? I think it helps hold off R's runny nose. It seems to start as soon as I don't use it one night.
Are all the kids getting sick of just your LO? Maybe they need to clean the toys more often?

@travellingbee: Also diarrhea and spit up could be due to teething....

Welcome to daycare! Expect nearly. Ontinual sickness for the first year.
-
@Mrs. Jacks: After the first year it gets better, right? Xander (and ME) have been sick non-stop since he started daycare and I'm sick (pun intended) of it!
-
And he just projectile puked
Fun day for mommy.

@Mrs. Jacks: people told me that and yet I still didn't think it would be this bad

@Smurfette: Yeah we use a humidifier. Bought it when he had croup and have left it on every night since then. It seems like all of the babies get most of the stuff. I think they do their best to clean the toys, but since all of the parents are teachers, and it is hard for us to take days off, I think lots of them bring their babies to daycare sick.
I guess it's just hard to control those germs when you have mobile teething babies who stick everything in their mouths.

@travellingbee: I'm in the same boat as you - I think I've been on and off sick for four months now. Xander gets it and then immediately passes it on to me and I always seem to get it worse! I can't wait for our immune systems to be stronger and more resilient!
-
@travellingbee: Yeah if all the babie's parents are teachers, you are going to get even more germs. Sorry! Maybe just ask if they see a LO put something in their mouth, then drop it, they wash it before another LO can pick it up. I am sure they do the best they can.

@Adira: it gets better! M. has been sick the entire school year so far.
