Daycare babies

Mamas with babies in daycare!! It’s week three of my son in care and he’s comes down with a nasty cough. ( so have I) he’s super congested as well.. no fever. No diarrhea.. he’s actually a little constipated.. how long did it take for you baby to get over the first daycare cold? 😭😭 and do I keep him home until the cough is completely gone? He’s been home all week.

My LO has had a cough since day 3 of daycare (November) 🙃 tis the season! Our pediatrician said he’d have the cough all winter long and so far, he’s been right 🙈

Since there's not much you can do it may take a while to shake, plus it's that time of year.. my girl was on and off sick for 2 months.. she's still slightly congested but sounds much better.. Just run a cool mist humidifier and if you see snot, suck the snot Our pediatrician said that daycare kids are sick 3 weeks of the month and mom's are sick two weeks

This^^ I’ve been sick more since having my LO than I have in years 🙃🙃

@Brittany well this makes me feel better! But also a little worried my ped told me he can return to daycare when his cough starts to get better and I’m like well how do I know when it’s good enough to consider better??😂

We just let our daycare know he’s got a cough and we ask how it is daily. We never took our LO out of daycare with his cough. I got oilogic bubble bath that seems to help the congestion some cause it has eucalyptus but we run a cool mist humidifier over his bassinet to help too!

Thank you all for your feedback! Found out baby has rsv which all makes so much sense now! I just can’t wait for the rsv/flu season to be over 😭🙏🏽
