Let’s get real here! During winter things just get worse as they tend to be all cooped up in those small classes. This unfortunately is how the cold virus is then picked up … at school, it’s worse. I cringe at times from catching my son the end of what he has just finished licking or rolling on. Our kids are extremely curious creatures at this stage of their lives, so then to be touching and licking everything. With over 200 variances to viruses that cause the cold, our toddler’s immune system tackles them one at a time.

This basically means that they are prone to falling ill. To be honest, I don’t think these necessarily stop them from having constant runny noses but yes manage it somewhat.įrom my chats with our doctor, friends and what I’ve read it is clear that this is part of their normal growth phase. He has Viral Guard, Créche Guard, ProBiotics and any other item that friends with kids have claimed works for them or our doc has OKed. We’ve contemplated keeping him home from school until he is much older, but that wouldn’t work as we’d have a very bored child in our hands let’s not even discuss two frustrated dads! Créche Guard I really was hoping he would be learning and reaching other milestones while at playschool, none of which included a child with a constant runny nose! #justsaying We’re either saying “bless you” every other minute or rushing to wipe the snot off his face. Seriously now, when does the runny nose season stop with the toddler? During school break we’re fine, but two days into school and our toddler has the sniffles.
