How long did daycare illness rock your world?

    A few months! She frequently has a cough or runny nose, but nothing debilitating

    Sadly, we're still in the middle of it over here. LO has been to daycare for 13 months and has been sick quite often (who am I kidding? all. the. time.) since about January. So still going strong. I'm hoping this becomes more manageable soon b/c it is brutal.

    I don't want to scare you, but we're at 22 months and she's still sick almost all the time. We now get one (sometimes two) week breaks. It breaks my heart to see her sick like that all the time.

    I think H is a great age to kinda go through this. It took us about 8 months to a year but part of that I believe was because she was so young at daycare (less than a year old). I also think it got better when she was more mobile and sickness didn't settle so bad in her chest (she could sit up and walk, etc).

    Its tough to see your kid with a runny nose/cough but that really isn't them being "sick". Hopefully you can get past the major stuff and move on quickly.

    Same as @BabyBoecksMom & @pregnantbee. This summer, we had some slight breathers but now that the winter is back again, at 17 months, she is still getting sick every two weeks or so. It's depressing. I think it stops when they stop putting so many things in their mouths - like around 3???

    She had been in daycare for 9 months when she got the worst illness she had ever had - roseola. That kept her home for a week.
