How many stomach bugs is too many?

DD2 (16 months) has just woken up and been sick. This is the 6th or 7th bug she's had since January, when she started nursery. DH has caught all of them (and DD1, and PILs have caught a couple each), so they are definitely bugs. Thankfully I've avoided them all!

Is this normal?? This is on top of general colds that she's had, plus chicken pox. Her colds are never that bad, she doesn't get a temp or anything, chicken pox for her was absolutely awful though - genuinely not a square cm of skin without a spot.

DD1 started nursery in March 2020, so was only in for about a week before lockdown. When she went back in the June there were fewer kids, lots of hand washing, kids kept home more easily etc etc. So she didn't really have an onslaught of of illness that you often hear about when starting nursery.
