Actually I'm not sure how to assess if it's an acceptable ratio, in general, notwithstanding it differs from person to person. I fully agree falling sick is to build up immunity, I'm not just unsure to expect as a first time mum hmmmm.
He has been down with common cold twice in Nov and just over the weekend. But this time he recovers much faster, 3 days compared to 1 week. But that's the cold part, since cold and cough comes in a pair for him, he's now battling with dry cough.
I guess a large part depends on the env. Hmmm just gathering more inputs from you mummies to have a sense.

Pixel, that's v assuring, haha thanks!
ST, here to share & learn together [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]
Mine visited 5 pd/gp over the past 6 months, cos he took more than 2 weeks to recover for each round last nov. Tried to let him self recovery first, didn't work and went to PD, after that still no use and went to GP as the PD queues were horrendous plus exp. So for the recent case, we just go straight to GP since they prescribe the same med, at a much cheaper rate.

mimimo: i think not too bad la...dont worry.
kids under 2 fall sick easily, but after 2 they will be much better.
but do expect the childcare virus when u send your boy to school, they tend to take longer to recover for older kids.
its not the immune system la..its the environment ya!
dont blame yourself.
take it that he is much better than kiefer already lor..
see what stupid illness he got right!
cannot scold illness...right!
and cough and flu usually good friends...they are usually together as a PACKAGE..

Pixie,
Shay is those bb that u mentioned lo
He got sick almost every month (zun like paycheck). Every mth sure got something de leh. Eg: nappy rash, laosai, fever, cough, flu, hfmd, fake measle, fit due to fever(hospitalized)... walao ..
Pay doctor fee till i broke. Only happy thing to mention is, no fever after jab and i only gave him antibiotic once ... sigh.
My ger nvr sick for the 1st 12mths lo, she set a too high health KPI for Shay, till i'm panic to deal with him like a 1st time mummy here.
mimimo,
envy !!!!! Only if Shay dun get sick in 2mths i super happy liao,

sinmey: dont forget that shay is in ifc leh...and its air-conditioned. prob contributes a part..
like kyler, when he was in the previous IFC, he get sick every month too.
and whenever he sprout teeth, he sure will flu & cough.
but for didi, its better...
i think its the environment...the air at mfs prob suits didi more...
and maybe the kyler ifc doesnt suits him...
but i always console myself, he will get better when he is older la..
so now at 3 yrs old, kyler seldom fall sick (choy choy)

I also feel that I'm a kancheong mum...haha..first time mummy alot of things I dunno whether it is normal or not.
Like sometime I feel that baby is not well, bring to pd, pd only say nothing serious. Just need more rest, etc... Paid so much but the consultation is less than 5min and the waiting time is super long. End up now if bb is showing any sign of sick, I'll just wait...if few more days still haven't recover then will bring to doc.

jojo: that is why i dont go PD, exp and i think i know what they will say...
but of cos its up to individual la..
if i think my GP doesnt know or cant solve, then i will go PD/hospital.
but some mummies here the company got medical for their families, so visiting a PD might be more worthwhile.

My ah boy 10.5kg for the past 3months too. Heavy right? I agree, as long as they eat/play/sleep well, that's more important. At first i was worried that he's too heavy but assurance from mummies here plus pd, I'm at ease so long as he's happy and healthy.
Have your kids started throwing tantrums? Mine starts to point here and there to demand for things and screams if he does not get his way. What can I do to let him express his frustrations in a better way? Or just let him be?

mimimo,
Shay is 10kg .. can't imagine how small he is when he is born. Don't worry, 10.5kg is ok de. Shay's IFC has 1 big baby, 10mths also 11.5kg liao ... kao...
our bb is very smart and know more things nowsaday. Shay also will cry for things that he ways. I'll tell him, no need to cry, say 'car car'(if he wan us to pick up thing for him) and mummy will take for you. But he always demand to be carry.. lol. I'll tell him, cannot always wan to boa boa de, Shay is big boy now. If he throw tantrum, then no choice to tell him, mummy carry for a while only ok, later shay can play on the mat for a while ..
Guess once they know they can get thing by throwing tantrum or screaming, my ear & blood will start to boil ..

pls lah i am far far far from being expert...u go cs n explore, their shots (quite alot of ppl) are stunning! when can i achieve that quality ah? sighs
they say its not the hardware that matters, practise makes perfect. the only way to learn is to snap, snap and snap. some even force themselves to snap. they have threads like "a photograph a day" kind of project. we should start 1 each and load onto our FB, encourage each other's album hor?
i borrow the magazines all the time, but i still blur. so if they say stop down, i go n see the output of how the pic looks like if i stop down myself lor...blur blur follow and trial & error
i oso must work harder too...i hope my pics get improved over time too O_O|||
