Toddler in daycare always sick

Kate

I know everyone, including doctors, say it's normal when they start daycare that they will get sick a lot.. But I feel like she is sick constantly. She's been there now since Oct, so 4 months, and she's been home sick 5 times now. Aprox 6 weeks of sickness!! She just got over a 3 week battle, cold + virus + infection and now after 3 days back in daycare she is coughing with a runny nose again 😭😭😭😭 I work full time and I'm now having to take holidays and juggle work and im going crazy.. Is this normal!?!? Will this ever end!?! A friend of mine has her daughter in daycare as well and she's never been sick.. And im worrying maybe there's something else going on here. Maybe the daycare doesn't clean?? Maybe they don't dress the kids properly when they go out?? Does anyone have any experience on these types of things?
