[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DS was like this - nonstop sick from six months to 3.5 years old. Now he’s 7 and I can’t even remember the last time he was sick. Never misses a single day of school. Just keep thinking about the strong immune system you are building![/quote]

My kid was the opposite. He did not go to daycare and stayed home. Not even a sniffle for the first 2 years of life.  Very mild diarrhea once or twice after vaccinations.

Did not fall ill in school because I would make him stay back home if I felt that he was coming down with something.  Most of the time he would recover at home in a day or two if he rested and had chicken soup.  I marvel at his immune system. No need to torture a child with sickness in the name of building immunity.  A small amount of exposure is enough for the body to create antibodies. Keep the viral load low. Of course, many working parents will dose their children with medicines and send them to school because they do not have daycare. That is the reality of having inflexible workplaces and lack of support for many people. [/quote]
