Been very troubled with my childcare arrangement for my baby .. Due to certain reasons and constraints, I need to go back to work . Baby was in infant care but keep falling sick . He was quite seriously sick a few times . My baby is now 11 months old. I've decided to withdraw him from infant care but have not been able to find a reliable and good babysitter . Cos babysitter is 1-1 with baby , I need to ensure my baby is in safe hands .. I've tried asking the agency but so far can't find a good match yet. I've been thinking and crying over this issue for past few days cos my childcare leave have all exhausted and he is currently down with bronchitis .. I can't afford to send him back to infant care to be exposed to germs again .. Been asking around too but in vain.. I think if this continues on , I will go into depression soon :(

I faced the similar situation with you when my daughter was 10 months old. My husband was not in sg then. My mum and I and baby fall sick monthly and eventually I got influenza. All 3 of us got fever at 40 degrees at one point. I frequently had to take leave and MC. It was really tough. Hang in there. Things will get better , kids immunity improve when they get older. My child is 2 years plus now and I am pregnant with my second one. Everything working out to be well.
