[quote=Anonymous]I think we don’t know what we don’t know when it comes to this, OP. My personal goal is a *moderate* amount of exposure while young. So not isolating newborns and little kids or over-sanitizing but not perpetual group care and tons of flying. We want to build immunity but we also know that viruses can lead to unpredictable dynamics later, from blood clotting disorders that may never be detected to more serious illnesses. Also agree that if a child needs repeated steroids or antibiotics we need to shift strategy. It also is true that most academics and medical professionals have kids in group care. I’m not sure how this plays out in what they choose to study or recommend. I do worry that sometimes we don’t get the best guidance because group care from infancy is the default assumption. At the end of the day I would focus on nutrition, sleep and emotional regulation since those are things we have more control over. [/quote]
