Unfortunate but true.I have the same problem with my two. It seems like they go to daycare for 3 days, get sick on the Thursday & spend the whole weekend sick. Seem to get better by Sunday, so off to daycare on monday only to either have the next two days off or at best get sick again on Thursday. I have heard that the first year is the worst but it gets better after that. It seems to have been true for DS. He was sick constantly for the first 10 months after starting daycare. He pretty much followed the pattern I described from January to November when he ended up in hospital for 3 nights with a "viral lung infection" (in other words they didn't really know but his lungs were so clogged up he was struggling to breathe). He was fine after that apart from the odd shortlived cold until DD started about a month ago now & both of them are on the same pattern
So frustrating. What ever happened to the old 48 hour wog? It would be much preferable to this 4 week cough thing my kids get.
It makes it hard when you need to work but sometimes it is more important to keep her home to be sure she's well.![]()
