When do preemie immune systems catch up?


My 6 y/o (born at 28 weeks with low birth weight) literally just finished her antibiotics for the last chest infection this morning and she's already coming down with a cold. I know six year olds are sick a lot but she catches everything and can't seem to fight anything off without help. Every single cold turns into weeks of bronchitis, ear and sinus infections. She contracted RSV right after coming home despite the synagis shots and ended up back in the nicu. I feel like the rsv is what really set her up for this. Is this eternally crappy immune system normal with preemies? Her pediatrician doesn't seem concerned. When will it end and when will I stop feeling pants crappingly terrified every time she so much as sniffles? Ever? via /r/Parenting http://ift.tt/2vmZ7dc
