Hi
This is just a post to show my husband that we are not the only people with a constantly poorly baby!
Since Nov our now 10 month old DD has has a constantly runny nose, viral infection after viral infection, sore throat, croupe, tonsilitus, cough, cold, eczemea etc etc
Please make us feel that we are not the only ones with a poorly child (She has been at nursey since 4 months old)
I think it has been a shock to the system for us as (touch wood) I am never ill (although I have caught all my DD's colds!!!)

oh bless you, Ds was like this from 16 weeks to 2yrs old! I honestly thought i was going insane. we religioulsy gave boots multivitamin syrup and it seemed to help. Now been illness free for 8 mths, apart from odd sniffle and mild temp but even then these only lasted a day. Was in shock the first time he had a temp and it didn't progress to full illness/doctors/antibiotics.

It will get better in time. (DS started nurseyr at 9mths)

Not as bad as yours but 6 mo DD2 has had colds, barking coughs, eye infection and chicken pox. Currently pouring phlegm from mouth, nose, eyes and projectile vomiting her milk in the middle of the night.

Must be the second child thing for us as DD1 was rarely ever ill till she went to nursery at 18 mo, whereas she is now giving everything to the baby!
