Hi!
My son is a month old.
Every since his two week check up
He has been breathing funny the doctors
Says he fine, but he acts like it's hard to breathe
And even harder when eating,
I just wanting to know thoughts?
Anyone else had this problem

Remember that he was swimming in amniotic fluid for 9 months and now he is breathing all of this dry air with dust particles. Sure, it's hard for them to transition from the womb to the world. There are so many differences!

I have to giggle when my patients look at me with worry when their 3 hour old baby is sneezing and they think the baby is "sick" or "has a cold."

It takes time to adjust to life outside of the womb.

If there is no fever, if the "snot" is clear, not yellow or green, if the cough is not violent but just a little clearing of the throat, there is no need to worry.

Lol.
Okay Thanks.
How have you been? It's been a while since I been on?

Should have known that. I guess I'm worrying about RSV. That's what he sounds like. Taylor had it when she was his age.

Brit, tell me more about the RSV. Why do you think she has it? You know I believe in mother's intuition.

I've been good. Just spent the day with my son, DIL and grandson (1) and granddaughter (20 days). Was a wonderful day.

It's the sound of him breathing.
He sounds like he 80 years old.
It's bad. But I can't get him in the
Doctor until the 5th of Jan. His doctor is hard to get an appt. My husband and I take shifts because we are worried since he has such a hard time. One of us is always awake. I just worry maybe I do it too much.

Have you tried taking him into the bathroom and running the shower full blast on hot?

Vaporizer? Pot of hot water boiling constantly on the stove?

We even tired my daughters breathing treatments that she had left over from her case with rsv. He getting worst, he sits in his car seat when I'm in the shower so yeah we have tired that

This is one of those times that I DO recommend the ER. You should get him there as soon as possible.
