Is anyone else's bubs constantly sick?

My son has been at daycare since he was 4 months old and honestly feels like he's been sick the whole time. Every 2 weeks, he's bringing home something (I know it's daycare germs and expected), but poor kid has had everything from.covid to salmonella to hand foot and mouth plus respiratory illnesses and ear infections. He sleeps well but wakes up 7 times a night, if not more, from being agitated or in pain. Am honestly considering taking him out of daycare (where I work also however I know I'll struggle financially) he's at a centre where there like 140 kids capacity, would it be worth trying to get him into a smaller centre?

Just a little rant and confused about what to do, it's exhausting for him and myself. Any opinions, advice or experience would be great.

Thank you all xx

I feel your pain, our little boy is much the same. He attends two daycares (I couldn’t get him into one for all 5 days) and one only has 30 kids so I don’t think daycare size is the issue. I just keep telling myself his immune system is going to be rocking by the time he is at kindergarten hahaha. Hang in there mumma, and maybe try your little guy on a kids probiotic if he isn’t taking one already.
