Laryngomalacia

We suspect that our little one (1.5weeks old) has this too. He kept gasping for air and choking on milk. It’s something we’ve been told he will grow out of.

Definitely scary!

My son has it and we are at 4 months now! I was so anxious at the start but I think the key is just to know the warning signs and be vigilant. I try not to be anxious for him! But it is worrying! I was told it peaks around 4 months and then starts to get better so fingers crossed xx

does he feed normally and gains weight the way it should be? And do you sleep same room with him or separate

I breastfeed and that alone has been challenging at times 😂 he can just be quite noisy when feeding or after when sleeping and he can occasionally cough while feeding which isn’t nice. He does have days where his reflux can be bad but he is a happy spitter. But up Until now has been gaining weight and we sleep with him in the same room as us!

that’s good news
Am settled at least , hopefully the symptoms will subside sooner
Thank you so very much

do you put him to sleep on his back or tummy or side ways which is the safest position to lie them down

Have the doctors said anything more about it to you? I always put him on his back which doesn’t seem to bother him as long as he’s burped and I tend to hold him up for 20/25 mins before putting him down x

they booked a specialist for me in 2to 4weeks time

My little girl is 2 weeks and we have also been told she had this after taking her to get checked out at 1 week. She feeds ok, she is just so so noisy, especially at night. She sounds like a squeaky dog toy. My friends little girl had this she grew out of it around 6 months and is now 2 years xxx

hi there, they booked the appointment for me in May to see ENT doctor,?so am still waiting
I thought it gets better when they are around 6months, ur son is 8months and still having it? What are the symptoms? Is he otherwise a healthy baby?
