Three months shy of three years. DD1 had her first ear infection a couple weeks ago. She didn't like the pink medicine....two drops of blue food colouring later.....and she LOVED the purple medicine.

None yet for DD2 at almost ten months.

First time was around her 3rd birthday this year, we all got sick with terrible colds and she was coughing and spluttering. She had her second round a few weeks ago with an ear infection, and this time we managed to finish the entire course.

At birth he had a collapsed lung and there were other complications.

He's almost 4 and that's the only time he's ever had them.

About 1.5. She had a cold and the coughing just wouldn't go away on its own, so the dr prescribed them before a trip and we waited another week and finally gave them to her. She had a somewhat similar situation around her 3rd bday where the dr thought she was developing a sinus infection after weeks of congestion, but we waited a couple more days and ended up not giving them to her.

At birth due to a complicated labor and emergency c-section. Then again at 2.5 months for bronchlioitis and probably 6 times since then for upper respiratory infections, pneumonia, and ear infections.

She might have had them at birth, since I had a somewhat complicated, preterm labor. But I honestly am not sure. Definitely nothing since. At 4 months she's been remarkably healthy her whole life.

Gosh, I don't remember! Around 7 months? It was right after starting daycare and she had a ear infection and bronchiolitis.

Ear infection at 7 months. Now he's 19 months and has his second one.

Right before his first birthday for his first (and so far only, knock on wood!) ear and sinus infection.

6 months for an ear infection. And then she was basically on them for the next 4 months straight before we got tubes.

DD - 4 days old She has a kidney condition that will require her to be on a low-dose antibiotic until she can have surgery around 2 or 3. Because of her condition, an undetected UTI could shut down her kidney (or even worse, lead to sepsis) in a matter of hours, so the antibiotic prevents her from getting a UTI. I hate giving her that antibiotic every day, but in our case it sure beats the alternative.

DS - I think he had his first ear infection around 5 months.

13 months for an ear infection for ds1.

Ear infection at 9 weeks for lo1. Several other times got antibiotics...is say at least 10-12 in past 3 yrs!!

2.5 years and still going strong. I'm sure that will change once he starts daycare in January (if not before with all the illnesses going around).

Knock on wood- he's never had them! (He's 3.5)
Somehow he's only ever had viruses, no bacterial infections. He doesn't get sick very often either, we must be really lucky!

Now (at 2yrs) for a chest infection

LO1 had them at birth in the NICU, but none since. LO2 hasn't had any yet.

2 years and a some months for bronchitis
