Since starting nursery 2 months ago my son (nearly one) has been poorly literally every other week! Sometimes even weekly. It’s driving me insane! Having to miss work, or leave work early and lose out on my wages but still have to pay the super expensive nursery fees 😬 it’s awful for him too! When he was starting I had so many people say their kids were always sick from nursery but my GOD I was not expecting this it’s absolutely relentless! My question is… at what age does this get better?! 😩

Hey! Nursery worker here, we get it, it’s so so frustrating, the first few months are relentless, but I promise it does get better. 2 months in so you should be coming to the end of the constant illnesses.
Once his immune system has started to build it will get easier and he’ll be come more resilient so won’t need as much time off.
Keep going, there shouldn’t be much longer left.
If it does continue for an extended period, it may be worth speaking to your nursery setting about their cleaning routines for toys etc x

We started in April and had about 2-3 months of horrendous illnesses and touch wood it’s started to settle! X
