DD2 has a stridor which has been obvious since about 8 weeks (which is when they are often first noticed). I'm not sure how many things can cause a stridor but in our case it is caused by some floppy muscles in/around her larynx. It is the kind of thing which over time the muscles get stronger and they grow out of it, a bit like reflux babies get more mature stomach muscles and the reflux calms down and kids ear canals mature and ear infections stop occuring.
Hope your appointment went well.
Looks like she is the same as sagres baby. He says she has floppy muscles and this will cause all the symptoms, even the apnea. Just have to make sure she isn't stopping breathing for more than a couple of seconds. He's told me to elevate her bed an also slightly raise her so she leans to her left as this helps keep the stomach valve above the food line and hopefully prevent reflux which is what he thinks is causing the choking.
So thank goodness it doesn't seem to be anything too major so far.
Like sagres said, it should remedy itself by 6 months.
Her weight gains and growth are awesome. 1kg and 7cm in 5 weeks, so I think that helped him diagnose it as nothing major.
It's just scary when you hear them stop breathing and choke
