[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Normal. As they say, you pay now (in daycare/preschool) or pay later (in early elementary). [/quote] This. The good news is that DC is developing a solid immune system, which eventually will help reduce illnesses. [/quote] why do people keep repeating this? repeated viral illness does not strengthen your immune system or reduce illnesss https://publichealth.jhu.edu/2022/is-the-hygiene-hypothesis-true?fbclid=IwAR15gmqIMhd4CTG9TQcMyaXpWhiOiKXIn9qxOtTq0-u02liSl2y-fle5paM[/quote] The hygiene hypothesis isn’t necessarily true but there are a subset of viral infections that provide long term immunity (some of the HFM diseases, etc). If you get them at 3 you won’t get them again when they’re circulating your 1st grade class. But yeah, a lot of daycare illnesses are just colds and RSV and those infections won’t help prevent colds and RSV 2-3 years later.[/quote]
