This is my experience as well. Kids have brought home a host of viruses this winter, both for themselves and to share around.

Between the 3 of us in my household it's been a solid 6 weeks of trading colds/sickness. On top of all the jabs etc. but daycare is just brutal for bringing bugs home.

Same here! Personally I've had 3 different colds/flu in the last 6 weeks. Plus everyone in the house has had at least 1 in that time.

Daycare brings home a lot of bugs but don't think it stops when they get to school 🤧
