Hi Micmum..

I know how you feel. I have 2 children who just seemed constantly ill the first few years of their life. I am more fearful of myself v* rather than my children. Which is quite good as my youngest has a condition which makes her v* a lot. This had desensitised me a great deal, although it is not very nice for her (tbh it doesn’t really bother her now that much!!).

Unfortunalty children do tend to pick up everything when they start nursery. The only good thing about nursery is that they don’t have to go. If you know a s*v* is going around the nursery, you can keep them off! Some parents take their children into nursery when they know they are infectious still which does make me MAD!!!!

As Olschesky said.. they is great advice on other threads re hygiene and prevention. Fingers crossed for you, you all stay healthy!
