All grown up now more or less. No more than twice each, so hardly ever.

cannotmakemymindup · 21/01/2020 23:02

Once and she's nearly 6

neverornow · 21/01/2020 23:02

23 month old has had stomach bug twice (V&D)

Nogodsnomasters · 22/01/2020 07:46

5 times and he's 5, almost averages out as 1 per year.

PonderLand · 23/01/2020 22:12

How have some kids never had it!? My son has had 6 d&v/d or v bugs since July! He's 3. I am concerned about him health wise though. He's probably had 10-12 in his life time.

Sammy867 · 23/01/2020 22:14

Once when she was 2 caught when her older cousins had it. aged 5 now.

hazeyjane · 23/01/2020 22:18

Dd1 and 2 (now 13 and 12) probably 7 or 8 times each.

Ds (9) probably 4 or 5 times a year, which means, when you add in his chronic bowel issues and severe reflux, we are awash with crap and vomit. Tis a joy.

Never, age 6
