Question from member of baby forum...
Hi there everyone
I just wanted to ask a quick question as my baby started nursery a week ago and has been constantly poorly since starting (she is almost 9 months old) I have been told that it happens whist thier immune systems build up but for how long?
Obviously children are going to get ill when mixing with others but surely it should calm down a bit and was just wondering when this happened with ur children when they went to nursery or school? Just thought u would all be best people to ask as not a lot of the babies in forum are at nursery yet or they have family look after them.
Thanks in advance

Ds2 started nursery in Jan having previously been at a c/minder and touchwood, the most he's had is a cold.
Sorry not much help but it does get better. Ds1 has been at school since Sept and he's not had a day off yet.
i also found that the nursery didnt tell me they had a chicken pox outbreak until she had it (then they were like "yes all of them have just had it"), i dont think they are allowed to tell which i can see why they wouldnt want to in a way.
anyway im sure your baby will be fine, and i just had to persevere as i wouldnt want her going to a childminder, and didnt have any family who could watch her.
i still think it is good for them to go to nursery, mixing with other kids etc, and it means they get a lot of illnesses before they start school too which i suppose is good.
