Yes tt's true. My boy was taken care of by my mom up till he's 1 year old. Not once did he catch a flu bug during tt first year of his life. But aft I've changed workplace, it wasn't convenient to drop him off there so I decided to send him to playgrp. Within just 6 months, he caught HFMD twice. A few cases of runny nose and fever too despite alr taken the flu injection. I guess the immune system was still adjusting but now aft a year, he's sick less often now. I give him Scott's emulsion daily now and up his fruits intake since he's alr more than 2 years old. I wish I cld wfh but as a teacher I can't. I had my RO telling me to take less CCL (even tho I haven't even exceed the max no. of 6 days) but what can I do if my boy is sick right. Honestly I hate how some supervisors aren't exactly as supportive for working moms but tt's life. I take care of other ppl's children but can't even take time off to take care of my own. 😔
Yessss my baby is 17 months at ifc and has been sick on and off. Centre refuses to ventilate classrooms cos teachers are hot and sweaty…….🙄 However I took extra precautions with my child now. I have her put on the onion sticker 24/7 in school whether sick or not. It helps her breathing better. It’s difficult for me too since i teach and husband is doing shifts. We don’t have other help so ifc was the only option. We have tried a young nanny from nannysg and it was great too! She was basically a mom whose kids are in pri school. Husband and I don’t have the option of wfh 😅 so we have to source out from help. We don’t take maid either cos I prefer to have baby in ifc since it’s helping a lot with the developmental needs. Can consider nanny from websites and reviews so don’t have to keep wfh!
my kidz r looked after by their grandmothers but i have always heard that this is common in infant care 🙏
