My LO is six months and has quickly surpassed his 8-12 illnesses in a year it seems! It seems he constantly has had a cold since he's started daycare. He had a sinus infection and spiking fever for which we had him stay home until he was fever-free. He then got pink eye on a Friday but was symptom-free and non contagious by the following Monday. Now he has a cough that won't quit. My DH took him to the pediatrician this evening and they prescribed a nebulizer treatment for him. He is fever-free, ear infection free...and other than a bit fussy here and there because he's not sleeping the best, he is acting like himself. So we are planning on sending him to daycare tomorrow.

What would you do? When I told the daycare lady we were bringing him tomorrow she kind of made me feel guilty. Nothing explicit so maybe it's my own guilt coming to the surface. I'm a FTM and used all my sick/vacation time for my maternity leave and my DH and I have pretty demanding jobs that are not easy to miss so I'm hesitant to take off days just incase I'll need to take time for something very serious...just curious what others normally do. Thanks.
