How quickly did your LO catch daycare cooties?

Mine made it two weeks. Got a cold. And now I think he gave it to me.

Re: How quickly did your LO catch daycare cooties?

  • In 7 weeks of being in day care, my LO has been sick twice! I've been sick with whatever she got too. Not fun!

  • Maybe a week and a half? And he caught his first cold from DH the week before daycare. Hope you and your LO feel better soon!

    Two weeks! She had a cold that started on a Sat. She was feeling better on Monday, so I brought her in. They called me an hr later and said to pick her up because her eye was red. I had to take her to the Dr. to confirm she did not have pink eye. Such a pain.
  • Around two weeks. I had phlegm in my throat and a bad sore throat at night before she showed symptoms of this cold she got so who knows if she picked it up first or I did from being back at work with my students.

  • Going on two months and no cooties. LO does have some nasal congestion right now but it doesn't seem to be amounting to anything so I'm not counting it as a cootie at this point.

    That's pretty much what I have been doing. I also use baby vapor rub and went in a steamy bathroom with him.
  • 4 days! We started with a stomach virus and now we're on to the constant boogers/cough

  • Good grief, you win.

    Hope you all feel better soon.
  • She made it about 3 days and then got a cold and she was getting better but I got strep throat so she got sick again but it wasn't strep for her.

  • We made it less then a week before he got a cold. The dc lady told me today that she thinks her son has chicken pox. So that's awesome.........not.

    @Chillpr‌ we have cats :-) does that count?
  • We have a dog.
  • @Chillpr we have a dog and she still got sick :(

    One week...came down with RSV which landed us back in the hospital for an overnight stay :-(

    ETA: :-/ isn't really the emoticon I was going for...damn you random question mark!!!
  • Week five and he's still doing okay ::knocks on wood::

    He's pretty much been around daycare germs since day 1, since DS1 goes and has come home with a ton of colds. I fully expect DS2 to get sick any time now.
