One illness after another....

Is this normal when a child starts at nursery? My DD (22 mths) has been going to Nursery for just over a month now and I've never known her to be so unwell. Stomach bug, coughs, colds..it's been relentless, one thing after another.

Anyone else experienced this?

Pretty normal I think when they first start nursery / school. All those foreign germs!!

Definitely very normal, i as a nursery worker haven't been in ill for donkeys years, i have the best immunity, the childrens immunity is bombarded with a hundred and one different bugs to begin with soon enough they'll be immune to it all, and have really good immunity to fight off loads of other things Grin

Perfectly normal ... As a wise mummy friend once said 'this too shall pass'
DS now weathers illness very well - I do not tho
