I am a highly anxious person as it is, so hearing my 4.5 month old and 3.5 year old cough scares me alot. Normally Im ok with DD2,but she had croup sunday night and then seemed to get flu and is coughing non stop now. DS is so young, but seems to cough at night, and it comes in little spasms (once he lies down after feeding, or whilst lying down feeding) and gags at the same time. REally freaks me out.
I guess i just want to know if there's anyone else out there at the moment with this? DS is fully breastfed, I just pray it's keeping other nasties away. I can't work out if it's his version or croup or not. He's had a mild cough for almost 2 weeks and it's just gotten a bit more often at night, but could be his nose running in bed or the milk coming up and irritating him. I hate not knowing.
Winter is not fun this year! xo
Hi hunni, I know how you feel about the coughing etc, I am sooo over it, it isnt funny. Everytime I hear it again I think Ohhh no, here we go again, and I just hope and pray that it doesnt get worse.
If you are worried about your little one,it wouldny hurt to take him to the Dr's for a check up. I actually think I live at the Dr's this winter. I even told my Dr, that I believe my family is keeping him in business. Of course he just laughed.
Just wanted to let you know that your not alone. Take care of yourself. hugs
