This happens to new daycare teachers also. Btw, you’re next, since they bring it home. Give it a few months; their immune systems will adjust.
Vitamin c… citrus is good for that
Out and about. They will get sick but it builds up their immune systems.
Keeping them in daycare and work through the cycle

Proper diet & sleep for their age helps. Sadly, even the best day care facilities that clean regularly, cannot keep airborne viruses at bay. Know your child & when a mild cold, becomes something worse
Exposing them to germs and bacteria
It’s a rough patch they’ll likely get over. In addition to multi vitamin, elderberry if you’re not already.

Good luck…my whole family took immune booster vitamins and elderberry gummies and as soon as my son started school it was over…we were all sick CONSTANTLY….

I really don’t think you can… Being exposed to germs & bugs is sadly thhe best way for them to build-up tolerance! My son missed so much of his early learning due to tonsillitis…once he got older he’s never had it since! Let them get dirty (to a safe level) it’s a worrying time but you have to have faith xx

Kids getting sick is part of immune building, they get sick they recover they have built new antibodies
The first year of daycare or school is just like that and then they stop getting sick so much. Just gotta get through it

Sadly they gotta get sick ALOT, think of of bubble boy lol xx
Your building their immune system just by sending them to daycare.its an adjustment but exposure helps.we can’t keep them in a bubble.it will get better.
Just have to keep taking them to daycare. Eventually they’ll build up an immunity

Let their immune systems fight the stuff off. Their bodies need to build up immunity and being exposed to germs/bugs/viruses is actually the best way to go.

Just stop with vitamins and let them out and deal. The best way to handle it is to let them get sick so their immune system will strengthen
Keep sending them.
Play in dirt, get dirty, play with other children, experience life.
The only way they build immunity is by teaching their immunities how to fight germs.

Let them play in the dirt and mud, lots of fresh air and sunshine. Clean water, whole foods, low sugar diet.
It is being exposed to the elements that builds the immune system.
I do vitamin as well but everyone i know always ask me why my kids dont get sick often. I let them play outside instead of watching tv or tablet 
they run bare feet play in the rain when safe. You just gotta let them build it up just being a kid
They will get over it… Its very common for Littles to get sick regularly when going to a new daycare or scholl since they are then surrounded by all new germs… My sons lasted about 3 months and now he’s fine… Just give it time

Letting them get sick is one way, not over sanitizing/cleaning stuff, letting them get dirty. ECT.
They build it up by getting colds from other kids and whatever else, it sux but all the baby’s go through it unfortunately it gets easier by 1st grade🥴 kindergarten was bad for all 3 of mine
Them getting sick IS building their immune system. First year.of daycare or school is always like this
That’s how you build an immunity. They’ll get sick like once every month or 2 in daycare. But by the time they hit school, they’ll be sick once or twice a year with whatever big bug goes around.
One needs contact with bacteria, viruses to build immunity. If old enough let them go out barefoot in your yard, play with dirt, be around other kids. Daycare as usual.
