I have a 6 month old daughter and I am considering sending her to the CDC for infectious disease research. She is a super effective vector for colds and I have been constantly sick since her birth. She is in fact so effective that I picked up a nasty chest infection in the hospital even before she officially entered this world. To top it off she demands to be carried around all evening which is a lot of work for someone with a bad case of cyclist arms.
Poor old me.
Just wait until she's school aged ;)
The unfortunate fact about viruses and bacteria to some degree as well is that they have really crappy copy editing abilities, so that means that over a span of time, say, from when you were a kid in school to you now having your own kid, that same bug has mutated six ways from Sunday and doesn't resemble anything your immune system remembers fighting off long ago. There's been much documented drift in things like Hepeviridae and Noroviridae which are definitely scarier than a cold, but it still exists in other bugs as well.
The kid will be just fine. Honestly the solution is to lock yourself in a bubble. Preferably one large enough to fit a trainer and a treadmill.

I can tell you why you're sick, I just can't write you an Rx
