It never fails whenever I take my daughter anywhere she catches a cold no matter what precautions I take to prevent it. And then what's worse is I catch it form her and she will get better but since I am a single mom and the only one who cares for her full time she catches it back from me!
I'm at a loss for what to do, I don't know how I can keep her from getting sick so much?!?
Any advice would be much appricated :-)

My advice would be this, when you go to walmart or whatever make sure that you wipe down the cart with antibacterial wipes. as well as when people come up to you dont let them touch her hands nose or mouth. you dont think about it when people grab her hand but babies put their hands to their mouths constantly. as well as when you are sick (yes this is hard) keep your mouth and nose away from her. and keep the hand sanitizer handy. i know these things because my son has metabolic disorder that literally a simple viral infection he got from his big sister made us have to call 911 because he wasnt breathing. so his doctors and i have made this plan and how to keep these nasty things from him. i hope it helps!
