Yes, very common. Mine got hfmd just a few weeks after entering ifc at 3m old, after that every 2-3 weeks she falls sick with cough / flu. Then sometimes I get the virus from her too :’( Some mummies recommended Sambucol baby drops to boost immune system, can take after 6m, but my baby got diarrhoea from it. Also I don’t have the option to take her out of ifc. So just gonna hang in there and let her build immunity over time. I do realise nowadays at 10m old she recovers faster whenever she falls sick.
