Joshua was sick for almost an entire year when he started daycare

He's been much better so far this year, but he's about to start at a new centre so hopefully it won't happen all over again!]]> Wed, 06 Aug 2008 15:20:31 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=19855&PID=461304&title=the-first-year#461304 <![CDATA[The first year : We have found our son to be very...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=19855&PID=461153&title=the-first-year#461153 Author: Shorty

We have found our son to be very unwell his first year at care.
We are under a paed and he said we have a good chance of having a healthy son as he gets older as he is buidling his immune system with all the bugs he has had.

Our DC has been through Mumps, Chicken pox, Gastro and are now going though NITS!
They put a sign on the door every time a bug is going through.]]> Wed, 06 Aug 2008 13:16:16 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=19855&PID=461153&title=the-first-year#461153 <![CDATA[The first year : AND If you have big kids at school...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=19855&PID=461126&title=the-first-year#461126 Author: shaz

AND If you have big kids at school and a new baby the baby will pick up heaps of bugs even if the big kids don't get sick that often
Alyssa had so many colds as a wee baby but hasn't actually been that bad at DC so far (touch wood).

I heard somewhere that in your fisrt years (I think they said up to ten years) you need to catch about 100 colds/flu before you build up immunity. ]]> Wed, 06 Aug 2008 12:53:25 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=19855&PID=461126&title=the-first-year#461126 <![CDATA[The first year : good news is i watched a thing...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=19855&PID=461058&title=the-first-year#461058 Author: ElfsMum

I (as a preschool teacher) would definitely say new kids get sick more often but not all of them.... some kids just seem to get everything going around and some don't and no difference in how they were fed either at least in the kids I have taught..

some children do seem to get bug after bug for the first 6 months or so though:( and when I was training I got sick the first year but after that hardly sick since...]]> Wed, 06 Aug 2008 11:37:27 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=19855&PID=461051&title=the-first-year#461051 <![CDATA[The first year : But yeah all the bugs they pick...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=19855&PID=461049&title=the-first-year#461049 Author: ooEvaoo

But yeah all the bugs they pick up help to build their immunity up. However colds and flus are always going around, and they're no immunity to stop them...sigh....

I thinnk Kahtrell is doing well, he's only been really sick once with a flu that was going around the DC, but apart from that.....well and the runny nose every once in a while he's doing fine..and he's been in care since Feb.

Ashlee has not been 100% well for a long time! Probably about the length she's been in care (almost a year now). I was just wondering when we were going to stop getting the runny bums and noses and she's sick yet again. She's just started a new daycare so a whole bunch of new bugs have been picked up and I'm just trying to decide today whether or not to send her to daycare or stay home.

That's the first time I've heard that, and it's certainly true for us!]]> Wed, 06 Aug 2008 08:31:15 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=19855&PID=460894&title=the-first-year#460894 <![CDATA[The first year : Maybe because they&#039;re being...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=19855&PID=460887&title=the-first-year#460887 Author: minik8e

Maybe because they're being exposed to a whole lot more germs and environment based things that they haven't developed an immunity to, because they've never been exposed to it before?? I'm no scientist, but I think you develop immunity only after exposure, so yeah.]]> Wed, 06 Aug 2008 08:23:54 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=19855&PID=460887&title=the-first-year#460887 <![CDATA[The first year : Oh joy, sounds like bubs first...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=19855&PID=460844&title=the-first-year#460844 Author: BuzzyBee

I have noticed though that DC kids are quite sickly when they first start off, they seem to pick up everything under the sun.

Do you believe that the first year of starting something new you are more sick than any other time???

I was told that when children start DC the first year there they are the most sick as they pick soooo much up. And that is the same for children who don't go to DC when they start school.

I believe this for my boys. Andrew started DC at 5 months and those first few months he was quite sick picking up a number of bugs, and now with Josh this year being his first he is picking those bugs up now.
