    6 day old gasping for air while sleeping

    Hi All,

    Is it normal for a 6 day old sounding like she is gasping for air (makes like a goose noise sorta).

    We will be seeing the doc tomorrow but just concerned.

    Thanks in advance.

    It is always worth getting it checked out. Hope bubs is ok

    I would get it checked out, but I do not think it is normal.

    Gasping for air doesn't sound good.. i'd go to the hospital. Is bub a good colour? Are fingers and toes warm and pink? lips pink?

    Frankly, I'd take her to hospital NOW. That's not normal.

    It could possibly be a stridor? If her hands or feet are cold or she gets a blueish tinge to her skin I'd take her to get checked out straight away. Hope it ends up being nothing.

    Hey ladies just an update.

    Dd2 is fine. Doctor said she is fine, the weird gasping is OK and lungs are cleared.

    Thanks ladies.
