Constant illnesses

Is anyone else still experiencing their toddler being constantly poorly? Since starting nursery in November it has been non stop. I know this is normal but I thought it would have calmed down by now as it has been 4 months. We had about 3 weeks of nothing then the past week has been hell. The walk in centre sent us straight to a&e with suspected pneumonia yesterday so all of Mother’s Day was spent in hospital. She’s still so poorly today. I’m really considering now whether to pull her out of nursery because we are just paying for her to be sick 😭. I’m having to take lots of time off work too. We also go on holiday next month so now I’m thinking of keeping her off the week before we go just incase she catches something but then it’s just a waste of us paying for her to go. Any advice? Does it get better 😭

I swear by Probiotics- Specifically Lovebug brand as others haven't been as good! My LO is 16 months, when we changed brands due to amazon being out if stock she got chicken pox and tonsillitis so back on them now and no more, not even a runny nose x https://healf.com/en-uk/products/lovebug-probiotics-toddler-probiotics?variant=45663815925999&frt=22&tw_source=google&tw_adid=&tw_campaign=22368009004&gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAjw-qi_BhBxEiwAkxvbkOS2ZhhfplKyE8vumazd5lrWYuPf_gEoDhMAsQ8hCRvgdaugHUHJ7BoCG28QAvD_BwE&selling_plan=6916473071

My little one has been constantly ill since starting nursery, and ended up with pneumonia a couple of weeks ago - scary times. I’ve been advised by the doctors not to pull her from nursery, as it is ‘normal’ and helping her build her immune system. I am told it will put her in good stead for when she starts school, as she’ll already have sturdy immunity. She started end of November too. I’m keeping everything crossed with the summer we get some restbite x

@Kimberley ah thank you! I’ll order some now, I’ll try anything at this point x

@Amy it’s just so difficult isn’t it! She’s constantly in our bed now too because I worry about her choking on her mucus / sick etc when before she started nursery she was in her bed 7pm every night sleeping through. It just affects everything, all of our plans, day to day life. I just feel so sorry for her being ill all the time x

Yeah it has been a nightmare for us too! It’s really affected her mood and our daily life too. I pray it’s over soon x
