    Re: Inspiratory stridor

    Thanks everyone.

    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

    So glad you got answers so quickly and that it's nothing to majorly worry about. I don't think it'll make it any easier to hear though...hugs.

    Hope the reflux settles soon. We feed upright, which helps with the reflux too.

    Glad to hear that
    If you need to see an ENT we saw an excellent private one and could pass on his name.
