Hey! When I spoke to our health visitor at my little girls 1 yr appointment (now 14 months old). I mentioned how she often sounds chesty and congested. She told me that babies generally get around 40 bugs / viruses in their first 24 months as their immune system is building up. She said its completely normal and often feels like our little ones are never well ❤️ x

My brother was always sick when he was a baby, we called him the walking bacteria. Back then doctors just got straight to the point and told my mum it’s good that he’s Ill now as he won’t be when he’s older. And it was true he’s never lll now 🤣 my little boy has only had 1
Cold, and that actually worries me!

My boy has been the same since turning 10 months. Mainly flus but we also had to take him to a&e once due to a bad case of conjunctivitis. Hope it ends soon…

My little is the exact same, it is always something, feel so sorry for them but also we need a bloody break!
I got told that it helps them build their immune system

Coming back to say we have a new fever and he is being completely out of his usual self so on our way to a&e after 111’s advice. Never ending…..
