Toddler keeps getting sick at daycare - is this normal?
Started nursery 6 weeks ago. Has had: cold x3, gastro x1, hand foot mouth, current cough. We're broken. Is this normal?

Immune system is doing what it should. Brutal but builds long-term immunity.

Vitamin D drops year round. Multivitamin in winter.

Completely normal first year of nursery. Apparently they catch 8-12 illnesses in the first year. Second year is much better.

We did the first 18 months at home with grandparents partly because of this. By age 2 immune system handles it much better.
