So tired of drippy noses & coughs. ;(

I am super tired. ;( Sophia has a cough again and had me up part of the night listening to her cough even though she slept through most of it. When do these non-stop colds end again? I feel like she has a constant drippy nose that I am constantly wiping! This morning she sneezed in the backseat while I was on the turnpike then wiped her boogers away with her pancake before she ate the damn thing. I tried to stop her from the front seat but couldn't so now all I can do is laugh. But how annoying it must be for her to be sniffly so often. Is this a daycare thing? An age thing? Both?

Moms with the kids in daycare and those at home - what is your experience at this age? I feel like its only gotten worse since she turned one and I expected it to get better.

TIA

Angelina has had a cold since the day Julian got home! and now he also has a stuffy nose. Angelina has had several colds since starting daycare but also had them before. Definitely more often now though, this cold was not a daycare cold it was a change in temp cold. I feel so bad for her because the other day she even woke up in the middle of the night at my mom's house coughing and threw up 3 times Kisses to Sophia

I think it's a combo of age and daycare

mady had a constant runny nose all thru-out winter (with the temp always changing it wasnt easy to maintain it).....it's gotten better since spring arrived....she isnt in daycare but she is around my nanny's grandchildren thru-out the day and when 1 catches a runny nose its like a dominoe effect.

i used saline every night and a humidifier every night - the damn runny nose is what is the main cause of an ear infection and she's super prone to those!

Poor Sophia!

Mikey rarely gets sick at daycare. He's only gotten a few bad colds since starting daycare a year ago, granted when he gets sick he gets SICK! **Knock on wood **

Could she have allergies? It's BAD allergy season right now and its not going to lighten up just yet either since everything is starting to bloom.

Kendall has had a runny nose and cough since day 2 of daycare back right after new years.  I just asked her pediatrician about it again and everything is good (no fluid in the lungs, no ear infection) - just what she likes to call "daycare nose".  I hate that she has to be there - especially since some parents just seem to take their kids there even when they shouldn't (like when they have pink eye) - but am happy that our families are able to watch her part-time.  I would say the cough would be due to the drip from the nose - I have been dealing with this personally for the last 2 weeks myself!
