Hi all,
just need a quick reality check here. DS is almost 9 months and has a cold now (runny nose, cough, no fever, eats, laughs and plays as usual). He also had a similar cold before at ~ 7 months old, for about 3 days.
It does not bother me or any health professionals I asked, but my mil is very concerned (or should I rather say absolutely mental) over it. Apparently none of her 5 children have got cold, ever (and all started talking in full sentences at 6 months, ran a marathon at 7 months and got their (first) nobel prize at 12 months). DH starts fights with me over it as he believes she knows better, I have been even accused of negligence.
Maybe I am too careless about it? So the question is: how many times did your little one have cold before 12 months? Is this recurrent cold after 2 months something to be worried about?
