worried about babies immune system

[babyimmune]

can anyone shed some light on how normal/not normal this is please. baby is 6 months old and so far has had - bronchiolitis (feeding tube/oxygen/in hospital for a week), then caught covid, then chicken pox, and now has shingles. her older sister is in nursery so assuming she is just catching stuff through her but i’m worried at how easily she catches things? i’ve convinced myself she has a bad immune system and something more serious going in

These are normal childhood illness and I think your baby has been very unlucky to catch all this in quick succession.

Maybe as there has been such a short space between illness she hasn’t had a chance to return to full immunity yet.

If the Drs at the hospital suspected an she had a problem with her immunity, they would have done further tests.

the gp said they will do further tests on her but have to wait 3 weeks, i assume for the shingles to be treated? but i did ask them the same as i’ve put here so don’t know if they’re doing the tests to give me peace of mind or because they’re concerned too

Hi,

i know this hasn’t been responded to in a while but I was wondering if you could share what the outcome was?
my baby boy is 3 months old and has been hospitalised twice with bronchiolitis on breathing support and NG tubs, he also had chicken pox, pneumonia, covid and severe conjunctivitis.

also worried about his immune system! X
