my 2yr old has been ill since starting play school - is this normal?

Hi all

My 2 yr old (nearly 3) started going to 2 sessions of play school a week (2 mornings). She's been going about 6wks and for the last 3 wks has been ill with constant coughs, colds, temperatures, chest infection - tonight she was sick all over me.

Think she likes the play school and i think it's good for her BUT is do you think all this sickness is from mixing with the other kids? Is this normal and does it wear off or is she going to be ill as long as she goes?

Feel dead sorry for her (and for us who haven't slept night through in 3weeks!)

What do you think?

Yes!

DD1 is 3.5 and this is her first year of nursery school.

She's had bug after bug, poor lamb.
