Flu Shots?? Do We Do Them on Our Children or Not?

I would love to hear opinions on flu shots and kids. I am vehemently opposed to doing it to myself due to such severe illnesses on the years I did get the shot. My husband says no because he doesn't trust them either. Our doctors want all our kids to have them. What do we do? I feel like I loose either way in this if they get a severe case of the flu. As for my kids, they are all healthy, active, and they do get the flu each year, just manageable cases of it. But these new flu strains are quite scary. Any input would be great!

Cold or Allergies????

My 3 year old daughter has had about 3-4 colds this summer. Since she was born she has been quite healthy, only getting colds in the fall/early winter and then remaining healthy the rest of the year. She never has a fever. It's really usually just a runny nose and maybe a little cough. Do you think it's common to have so many colds in the summer? Or, does it sound like allergies?
