Grunty baby?
Hi all
I was going to post this in mkb, but there doesn't seem to be many posters, and I wondered if it could be related to Kieran's fussiness... He had his first cold at about 2 weeks old, and he seemed to lose the baby reflex thing of being able to feed and breathe at the same time. Since around that time, after every feed and when he needs to be burped, he gets quite wheezy/grunty. He was meant to have his first injections 2 weeks ago, but as he'd just been fed, he was making those noises, and the doctor said to postpone them. He'd just had another cold (so much for breastfeeding and the antibodies!) and the doctor put it down to that, and said his chest was clear. He had his jabs today as the doctor said he was ok - he hadn't just been fed, so his breathing was quiet... The doctor wasn't particularly listening, but given as he'll be 15 weeks old tomorrow, and it's only when he's fed, feeding, or windy, I'm wondering if it's a reflux type of thing. He's sick quite often after feeding, and had quite severe colic. I don't know much about refluxy problems, and I was wondering also if it could be causing him to be more fussy, or if this noise could be something else. Apologies for all these posts! You wouldn't think I'd actually had a baby before!! Lucy x |

You wouldn't think I'd actually had a baby before!! Breats feeding doesn't prevent them from having stuff. #3 was totally breastfed until about 7 months. he had his first ear infection at about 3 months, and had them fairly constantly (between antibiotics) from about 5 months through to 12 months. #2 also caught chicken pox while she was entirely breastfed. If your HV's got any sense, then I'd talk to her. Otherwise I'd make a drs appointment. Try and feed him just before you go in, or even as you go in, so they can hear the problem. I'd use a non emergency appointment and pick my doctor fairly carefully, as one who will listen and not just say "fussy mother". Debbie |
