I give up. My baby has been falling sick ever since he was enrolled in infant care when he was 7 months old. 3 months have passed and he has been falling sick and recover, then fall sick again etc. Really very heart pain. I feel like I've failed as a mom for allowing him to go through so much sickness but I have no choice, need to work as we are financially not able to have jus a sole breadwinner. Feeling very sad. Wonder if I should pull him out from infant care but I'll still be stuck with who to help me take care when I'm at work :(

Hi my heart goes out to you and baby. Have you tried giving baby probiotics or Childlife Colostrum? I have read reviews that the colostrum does help build some immunity for baby and as they get older after 1 year old feeding them sambucus does the same effect. I give my baby probiotics as recommended by PD but that's more for tummy health. Don't feel like a failure. Kids have to go through this nowadays if not now but later on when they go to playgroup. I think you should stay rational and continue to put him in CC until you find a better solution. In the long run they will all be exposed to such virus and bacteria so probably your boy will build up immunity faster than other kids. Maybe you can talk to the CC and tell hel this situation? Are they doing a good job of sanitizing the CC and checking temp to prevent sick children from going to CC? I don't Undrstand why parents with sick kids will allow them to go to school at all. Another alternative is look for a nanny but this can be hard and also quite costly these days. Take care!
