Is your 'lockdown toddler' constantly sick?

I had a baby at the beginning of the pandemic in March 2020. He didn't get ill at all when he was small due to their being no baby groups, not being able to see family and friends so not coming into contact with any germs.

He barely had a cold until he started nursery this August.

Now he keeps getting tummy bug after tummy bug and constant colds. I've had to keep him home from nursery a total of 10 days in two months which is not ideal when I work full time.

I'm also picking up his germs too and constantly feeling unwell.

Wondered if this is normal?

I have vommers. Refluxy as tiny babies and hair trigger gag reflexes. As soon as their temperatures go up they vomit. Lots of washing!
