    Unhappy Should I be worried?

    I noticed the other day while bathing DS3 that when he cries his lower ribs suck in, his tummy stays fat but everywhere else sucks in. it doesn't look painful but it scares the ba jezzers out of me!

    What could be wrong with him?
    Should I take him to the doctors or am i just making a mountain out of a mole hill?

    MK..no advice as I have no idea but if something doesnt look right I would get it checked out. Even mention it to your MCHN as well.

    I am sure your little man will be okay.

    Hmmm ... at your DS's age that sounds fairly normal. Babies have very flexible cartilage in their rib-cage and so it is very flexible. If it concerns you, or you see any other signs of breathing problems, it might be worth getting checked out.
