My 3 older kids were sick all the time when they were little. The oldest had 2 sets of tubes and my 3rd had 1 set. I missed 13 days of work the school year after my oldest was born. Eddie and Naldo definitely seem healthier than my older ones were in the preschool years. They both have had colds, but only a few ear infections. Eddie has had 3 bouts of pneumonia, but other than those occasions he has been healthy. I breastfed my older 3 and I am assuming the younger ones were exclusively formula fed and I feel the younger ones have been healthier overall. Maybe there are just so many germs in the house that their immune systems are jacked up just to survive.
