Colds and Medicine

Collette caught a cold from one of the few kids at homecare. I'm really glad we moved to a homecare: looking back at the larger daycare she used to be sick continuously, with 5 ear infections in 1.5 years. Now it's just one cold over the winter plus one ear infection. It's a huge difference and one worth paying money for. There's nothing worse than having a sick child. They're so helpless and you can't do anything for them, especially because the stupid FDA pulled infant cold medicine off the shelf. I just noticed, they started to put back cough medicine for 2 years and above, so I was able to buy some for Collette. But Infant to 2 year olds apparently have to suffer because of a few idiots. That's one thing Singapore has right - they allow you and the doctors make decisions for your baby rather than one poorly governed body of doctors. Too much democracy is not any better than too little in this case.
