Oh big hugs hon, that's so annoying for you all! I honestly reckon some kids are just prone to picking up stuff, more so than others.

DD1 didn't get gastro until she was 2.5yrs. Everyone was quite amazed that we got to that age without getting it. She had it 3 times last year and DD2 never caught it.

Both my girls have had colds but I don't feel like they're sick very often at all. DD1 suffered from teething snot and coughs more than from a cold. DD2 has had 2 colds (I think) at 14 months and nothing else.

DD1 has started two full days in care (preschool and day care) this year. We are 4 weeks in and so far so good. She has a busy social life too with swimming, mothers group, playgroup and random play dates and she does seem to bypass a lot of bugs. I think it is just her though, we've been lucky!

Anyway, enough of my rambling! I hope your gorgeous DD gets better soon and finds her inner bug repellant soon

PS I love Olive's suggestion of alcohol gel in her bag. DD1 already knows to use it (and happily does it herself) if there is nowhere to wash her hands or if she can't turn the taps on herself.
