AIBU to just pull him out of nursery?

DS started nursery at the beginning of April. Since then he’s been unwell every other week pretty much. GP says it’s normal, they think he has cough variant asthma so perhaps more susceptible to coughs than most, which means he seems to get a cough with every cold/viral or bacterial infection. No sleep for any of us due to said cough and everything disrupted.

I know it’s par for the course especially because of lockdown/Covid (GP said they are seeing a lot of children DS’s age and younger that are getting a lot more infections back to back than they otherwise would be because of lack of exposure) but I feel broken with it all.

Nursery is currently short staffed so might have to close a room temporarily and I am half wondering whether to just pull him out and try again next year when we have our government funded time.

I work for myself so have the flexibility to do so but am unsure if I’m being melodramatic because I’m tired. He’s had two weeks back at nursery and has now come down with another cough (perfectly fine in himself so far fortunately).

@lancsgirl85 ah sorry I didnt mean to
dismiss your experience I just meant I would like him to have a run of 3-4 works healthy for
once instead of a week!
I’m sure it’s still really tough, any time they are back to back ill is so hard on everyone. I hope it passes for you soon.

Thanks, you too

@NuffSaidSam

And i always make the decision jointly with my childminder. She tells me when she's not happy to take her versus when she is.
