Do you let your......

If it's warm and sunny, yes. But generally no. DD is only 19mos and an ex prem. I can't risk her getting sicker.

Absolutely! If they're well enough to be asking for it, they're well enough to go outside. I find that with my guys, when they're really sick they don't want to be outside anyway. DS2 is still little enough to rug up & pop in the pram for a walk, so even if it's not playing outside, we often get out & about, which he always enjoys, regardless of how crook he is. He's a good sleeper in the pram too, he'll generally sleep longer when he's in there than if he's in bed, so it can be a bit of a win/win.

Bhoysgirl, I figure that too because if they are feeling really bad they won't get off the couch but today as I said they were up and about within a few hours and asking to go out, I just worry about their coughs. Both are tucked in bed snoring now after the minuscule lunch they had and their little play outside. The cold looks like it's setting in for rain now so Im glad they got half an hour of fresh air. So tricky balancing it all!!

It depends on how sick they are and what sort of sick. My two have to be really, really ill before they will actually choose to lie down so I have to use my common sense rather than theirs. If they're sick as in stomach, head etc then I tend to let them do whatever they want on the basis that they will just stop when its too much. We've had beautiful sunny days over here lately but the nights have been freezing bringing lots of fog and frost, so I have been keeping them inside earlier in the morning and then towards the end of the afternoon when the air is starting to get damp because they've both had nasty coughs that just won't go away. I definitely prefer them to have some fresh air though when they're sick - I think its very underrated as a healing thing

If they were asking to go outside I would.

Yep me too, but the days here are generally warmer than anywhere else and that sun is good for bugs.

No I don't always. My kids don't always know what's best for them. That's my job. So it's case by case and child by child.
