Dee we too have had a shocking time the last few months. It has been cough after cough for 5 months now. Our babies are so little, their immune system is just developing, it is pretty normal that they will catch lots of coughs and colds. Lu has been sick for 3 weeks, on ABs for a chest infection and now has a nasty chesty cough like you describe. If he is otherwise happy i'd ride it out. But, as always if you are concerned you should go to the drs.

Sas has had a chesty cough since she was born, she has it even if she doesn't have a cold. So i got a referral to a paed and i'm taking her on Friday. Perhaps if you are concerned you could do the same..

All this coughing is driving me up the wall! Hope Blue's is better soon.

Thanks Ange - I know what you mean it's just constant...

I've just called the doc to take him this morning as I am a bit worried....if it wasn't for everything else he's had I would ride it out but it's just so violent - his whole body goes rigid and his little head gets so red....

I hope Sas and Lu feel better soon xoxox

dee maybe get him checked for whooping cough i hope he gets better soon

this is what I am scared of - because he has been so sick he hasn't had his 4month vacc's yet - every time we go to take him he's coming down with something again

i hope its not dee maybe a chest xray too to rule out anything else

dont feel bad about the vacc's. If its whooping cough, chances are he was gonna catch it anyway.

Let me know how u go xoxo
