I was fortunate enough to be able to take my son to work with me from when he was 2 months old (i only work 2 days a week). But by the age of 5 months he was getting too bored being there so he started going to a childcare centre, 2 days a week, 6 weeks ago.
In the past 4 weeks he has had gastro, an ear infection, an upper respiratory infection and 2 lots of anti-biotics. He now has tonsilitis, bronchulitis and a middle ear infection and is on his third lot of anti-biotics.
I keep being told that he simply needs to build up his immune system and that this is what happens when they start going to child care.
I need some advice on what to do! I really, really want to pull him out of the centre cause it's getting out of control. I dont have any family of riends available to look after him the days that i work. I was considering changing to family day care as perhaps there would be less chance of him getting sick?
I could stop working altogether and be a SAHM but money would be quite tight as im a single mum.
I just dont know what to do??
I keep him home when he is sick but i cant keep having days off work as its not fair to my employer. When he seems to be better, he goes back, then the next day comes down with something else! Everytime im there, i see kids so sick that their noses are running into their mouths and they are crying so hard they're almost choking.
Im sure lots of mums have gone through this with their bubs and i'd love to hear from anyone who can help!
