i agree with koli & her paed/violetB cuz our kiddo's immune system stil sm'what immature.
i know its a real headache now when they're get'g sick all teh time, but the silver lining is that they are build'g up their defenses now.
good news is that they'll be protectd fr these when they are in Pri sch & wont get sick so easily
<font color="0000ff">this is fr the dumex website:
Fortunately, newborns are generally protected by the antibodies they receive through the placenta before birth and from their mother's breast milk after birth. This type of protection is known as passive immunity because it is "borrowed" from another source. It gradually disappears during the first 6 to 8 months of life, while their bodies step up the process of producing antibodies, until they reach adult concentrations at 12 to 14 years of age.</font>

<font color="0000ff">How can I make my older child feel involved in the arrival of his new sibling?
Whether or not your child actually attends the birth, chances are that the day his new brother or sister arrives will be a memorable one. To make sure those memories err on the positive, prepare your child ahead of time for what's to come.
Take him on a tour of the hospital or birthing center. Many hospitals now offer introductory programs especially designed for new sisters and brothers to be. They'll show your child a room like the one you'll be staying in, talk with your child about his or her fears and concerns about the new arrival, and visit the nursery so everyone can see what a real baby looks like.
While at the hospital, keep your child posted as much as possible on your progress if your labor drags on. He'll need to know that everything's okay.
To ease the first meeting, which can be pretty awkward for children already nervous about the changes this little creature will bring give him a present from the baby. Prop a picture of him by your bed and make sure he sees it. Snap a new photo of him with the baby and do whatever else you can to reassure him that he'll still be at the center of your lives.</font>
