On the TV at my gyno's office... babies & colds - need info from BTDT moms!
They always have those health shows on... and there was one about babies and colds. They said the typical newborn/infant/baby is sick with a cold every other week - is that true??????

I dont think so......
Julia didn't get her first cold till she was 9-10 months old. She was never sick! (ThankGod)
ETA: I also BF her for 11 months!

If your baby is in daycare, yes. My pediatrician warned us on our last visit before we put Alex into daycare (at 10 weeks old) to expect that she will have a cold once every two weeks for the first year. I laughed, but OMG did it come true.
The first few colds are AWFUL, just awful. But after 2-3 of them, your baby starts to build up an immunity and resistance and gets over them much more quickly. And i think it really helps to BF. I swear Alex recovered so much quickly when I had the cold with her and BF'd her - I passed all my immunities to her and she would recover within a day or two

I think Syd has had one cold and it was barely even that, more of the sniffles for a few days...So, no, it's not true for everyone.

For Joseph,the first winter he seemed to have a cold all winter long & an ear infection every month. I started giving him acidiphilus (sp?) to boost his immune systems after being on so many antibiotics.
It's unavoidable in daycare. Germs will be swapped. She started getting sick once she started moving around & grabbing objects. I think the main reason she was sick so often is she is a thumbsucker.

No for Jack...yes for Molly. Molly even spent three days in the hospital when she was 6 weeks old.

If your child is in daycare, absolutely. My youngest daughter works in one and you wouldn't believe how often she has been sick this year with colds, bronchitis and pneumonia. If your child stays at home or is watched by a relative, it should be a rare occurrence. I was a stay-at-home mom and my children hardly ever went to the doctor for colds and ear infections. I can count on one hand how many times they were there outside of regular checkups.

Not for us. Both my boys have had one cold in 6 months and they got it from their babysitter. They are not in daycare though.
