Hi guys- I'm looking for some advice regarding nursery.
My little boy was premature. He has always been a sicky baby and because he is premature, he is more prone to illness.
Anyways , he started nursery at 9 months old. I understand they're prone to illness being in a nursery setting.
However, he's 18 months old now. He struggled with his food for a while. He would cough himself sick if something hit his throat funny. I asked a doctor and he said it was normal with introducing foods. He's a keen eater and will eat and try everything. He is much better but will occasionally cough himself sick especially when he's teething.
He does have runny nappies. I have also seen a doctor about this and she said since it is only once or twice day she isn't worried and he will grow out of it.
He had a sickness bug last week. He was sick for around 4 days. I kept him off nursery and I updated the staff on why he hadn't been in.
This week I got a call Wednesday saying he had been sick a little but they would keep an eye on him.
Then on Thursday I got the call that I had to pick him up. They said he had woke and got slightly sick after lunch but they said it was just a bit of his pudding. He was emotional and they thought they would give him a bottle. They gave him a bottle and he was sick again a large amount.
When I picked him up , they explained all this and I had said he had a sickness bug last week and he's currently teething. It's just the way he is. They questioned a dairy allergy but I feel I would have noticed rashes ect if he had an allergy ? Correct me if i'm wrong.
I'm finding it frustrating having to pick him up so much. If he has 2 runny nappies in one day , I get the call that I have to pick him up.
Not frustrating because he's poorly as id want to be there for him if he was ill... but because I know he isn't. I brought him home and he has a snack and was laughing ect wasn't sick again. No temperature.
Financially it's frustrating as I'm having to pay for the days that he is not there and that's hard when im loosing so much time off work.
Is this normal for nurseries ? I really like the nursery and the staff are nice i'm just finding it hard as after all this time , I feel like they'd know him by now and that's just the way he is. I'm contemplating going to the doctor to get a sick note but im unsure if it would change anything.
