Skeetaboat- thanks for sharing your experience I have my fingers crossed that DD (and I- I've gotten every single thing she's brought home, too!) will be immune to everything on earth pretty soon :P So glad to hear that your little one was better with the bugs in the second six months of daycare.

And Alioops- it's hugely helpful to hear about your DD. We're going through a different kind of hell with our little one at the moment as she's refusing to eat pretty much anything at all- soooo fussy- and I'm beginning to suspect the frequent illnesses and the fussy eating might both be connected to tummy pains from lactose trouble.

DH and I were both intolerant when we were babies- my mum put me on goat's milk, apparently, and his put him on soy. We've just been out and bought some soy for her to try this afternoon (had to give it a shot after she drank 250mL of full cream cow's milk yesterday while out with her granny for the day, then barfed the lot back up all over granny's literally brand new car :O). Will have a look at some probiotics too, and hopefully the combination of those two things will help a little. She's always been a night waker, too- makes me wonder even more if it's always been her tummy.

Thank you, guys!
