Feels like winter from he'll. DD2 has had flu then 2 stomach bugs in 6 weeks. Has she got a weak immune system or is this just how it is for 17 month olds? She was well march-November ! Just wondering how much more her little body can takeSad. She has a 6 year old sibling who has had much milder versions of all 3.

I think the problem is when they are under the weather with one thing it can make them much more susceptible for other things, and often they haven't got the same level of natural immunity.

There are times when DS (14 months) seems to go from one thing to the next.

Hope she is better soon.

I think I want to rationalise it. Is it normal and just a right of passage for children growing up today or extremely bad luck.
