Just thought I would share my experiences, dd1 was a premmie with lactose intolerance and she picked up bronchiolitis at 6 months or so, she was on redipred a few times before she went onto seratide. She improved dramatically and although it's not officially asthma she shows the signs if she gets a cold or bronchiolitis and the weather gets cold it triggers her wheezing. So we use the seratide as a preventor in the colder months and extra doses if needed.

Dd2 got bronchiolitis at 3 months and it took forever for her to get better, she was on redipred, we tried the seratide but being so young it had no effect, she had the treatment with the mask, can't remember the name, but that didn't work. Finally the seratide worked. So she seems to have asthma too.

Both girls were fine until about 3 weeks ago when the cold weather hit. Interestingly our gp has athsma too and said he needed to use his puffer the same morning both girls needed theirs.

I can't wait for winter to be over as we go around in circles, dd1 seems to be stronger this year she isn't as bad as dd2.
