[quote=Anonymous]As a daycare mom who has dealt with a ton of illnesses I feel for you, OP, but what you're asking is not even in the realm of realistic. Daycares do disinfect toys, but it's really not possible to track which babies are playing with which toys at any given moment. Our daycare does make an effort to separate toys after they've been in a baby's mouth (I've seen the teachers take such a toy and move it to the side to be washed) but it's just not possible to track every single toy like that. Hell, last week at drop off there was only one other baby in the room when I got there (so not at all chaotic), and both me an the teacher were watching my 11 month old as she crawled to the smaller baby, snatched the baby's toy, and stuck it in her mouth. We both tried to intervene but the kid is fast. It happens.

Your baby is going to get sick. It sucks, but it's not really the daycare's fault. Starting in winter is particularly bad luck. But he'll eventually build up an immune system and it won't be so bad. [/quote]
