For me and my kids frequent sneezing is often the beginning of a cold.
We’re all just getting over one right now that I initially thought was allergies. Since it spread to each of us in succession I am now quite sure it’s a cold. With all of us it started with lots of sneezing and a runny nose. I hope Justice is feeling better soon. It’s always something, hugh?Yeah, I know the feeling. I’m a SAHM too and my kids still get sick. It drives me nuts. This last round they picked up at the pool. At least that’s where I think they got it. They go to swim lessons and church. That’s about it. Once a week we may go shopping. It’s very frustrating. But I guess it’s normal and supposedly each time they get sick they “teach” their immune system how to fight things off more easily. That’s what the doctor always tells me. I think it must be true because my oldest was sick constantly the first year of preschool and now she gets the fewest colds and stomach bugs and when she does get sick she bounces back much more quickly than the other two. So, I guess there’s a light at the end of the tunnel with these stupid viruses.
Well, I don’t know what we caught or when we caught it, but we are both sick now. This is so frustrating. I have meetings every Wednesday that have just started and two of the 4 I have not been able to go to due to being sick. I think I am going to go buy some clorox every where spray and if we go out to eat spray the high chair down and the table and every grocercy cart I am going to spray to. I may look weird, but I just don’t care. We have one of those cart things for Justice, but don’t have anything for Luke for the back of the cart. Also we usually put the cart thing in the height chairs, but forget it last time. I think that may be how he got sick even though we wipped it down.
Christine I sure hope your right. I was always told that a bf baby wouldn’t get sick as badly as a non bf baby, but in our case that is not true. Of course, he is so much like me and I got sick all the time as a kid. Which actually scares me because I used to get phenomia (sp) all the time and almost died from it twice.
Maybe the bfing will keep him from that. You sound like me. I used to carry a bottle of bleach water and I’d spray down the grocery cart before putting Liza into it. I stopped doing it because it’s always windy in ND and you can imagine what happens when you spray bleach water on a windy day.
So , I bought one of those grocery cart covers for her (now Myles uses it) and that helps a lot but like you said it doesn’t help with the older kids. Eating out is a big culprit. We rarely eat out anymore and we definitely get sick less often. I swear the kids would get sick every time we ate anywhere. I’m not sure why but my kids were breast fed and they still got sick as much as any other baby. Maybe that’s a myth, that breast fed babies get sick less often. I hope you are all feeling better soon.Is that true? That bf babies get sick less often? I’m kinda leaning towards myth b/c my friend’s babes were bf and her daughter has excema. asthma, the whole shebang! I was clinging to that myth b/f I met her
