My son started daycare at 14 weeks and is now almost 14 months. I swear, it seems like he is CONSTANTLY congested. His ped always blows it off as typical baby congestion, but there’s been twice we’ve ended up in the ER and it’s been bronchitis. He never has fever, still happy, just tons of runny noses. I think it’s allergies, because it seems to get worse outside. My husband wants to take him to a specialist because he thinks it’s abnormal for a child to constantly have a cold.

I think it has more to do with being in daycare, and kids putting shares toys in their mouths, and touching stuff and then sticking fingers in mouths. Is anyone else’s young child sick a lot that goes to daycare?
