Daycare moms - how often do YOU get sick?

I knew when we started that DS would get sick. Everyone warned me and it came as no surprise when he got a cold almost immediately.

What I was not prepared for is how often *I* would get sick! I have had a few colds and the stomach virus he brought home - I've been sick pretty much as often as he has. Will it be better next winter, or should I buy stock in Purell now?

It seems like I am ALWAYS sick now Chat Icon I used to get a bad cold about 1x a year - now it's a lot more often. I'm hoping it gets better.

DS has been in daycare a little over a year. DH and I frequently have some form of a cold (except over the summer--we all did well then). I had the stomach virus 4 times, DH had it twice. I got cocksackie.

Re: Daycare moms - how often do YOU get sick?

I only get sick when i bring him in bed with me and he is all over me - touching my face, sneezing and coughing on me. That is why I really resist bringing him in bed with me when he is sick - it is rare that he doesn't sleep in his crib, but when he doesn't, I always get sick.

Re: Daycare moms - how often do YOU get sick?

With the last cold she caught at daycare - I got the worst of it. The kiddies at daycare had colds - I ended up with strep throat, sinus infection and ear infection. Took 3 weeks for me to get it out of my system.

I get nervous with every new sign I see as I walk in each morning wondering if something's hit her room again Chat Icon

Maybe this is what I need to do - pump myself up with vitamin C Chat Icon I have never really used hand sanitizer much before, but the other day at Trader Joe's I was so excited because they had antibacterial wipes at the cart corral. I am such a geek. Chat Icon

Every time DS does it seems Chat Icon I am currently nursing a horrendous stomach virus... courtesy of Colin's daycare. I guess we have to re-grow our immune systems too!

Other than some sniffles, I don't remember being sick since Ryan was born.
