DS is 15 months. In his first year I could count on one hand the number of times he was ill. Since starting p/t at a CM 4 months ago and going to playgroups, it feels like he is constantly ill - tummy bugs, ear infections, colds, coughs, rashes. And on top of it all, probably teething some molars.
I am averaging three visits a month to the doctor, his vaccinations are two months late as I have to keep cancelling them because he's ill and I just feel so miserable and frustrated at trying to work out what's wrong with him (tonight, in his cot, really upset, and I'm not sure if it's the cough he's got or his teeth or his ear...)
Is this just what happens? Have I got years of it in store?!
