Harry has a hospital appointment Monday

[beckyboo1]

At 9.10am. Have no idea how all three of us will be dressed, fed and out of the house by 8.45am

When I was on hospital after giving birth the midwife noticed that when Harry cried he made a funny sound

This ended in the paediatrician coming to see him to have a listen in to him. They think that he has a floppy larynx (also called stridor?)

Basically his voice box is a bit soft so when he gets upset and crys it closes a bit and he makes a funny noise-hard to explain

Apparently they can grow out of it and they didn't seem overly concerned but we've been referred to the ear nose and throat doctor

Felt fine about it til today when I've started crapping myself that something will be wrong with him. Coiled with my hormones I keep crying when he crys which is only when he wants feeding

He gets himself worked up and then takes a while to latch. Then I get stressed about it all

Once he's latched and calmed down he's fine but I guess it's only natural to worry

Trouble is it stresses out hubby too and we both end up upset. On Wednesday night my husband cried for the first time since I've been with him (5years)

Just wondered if anyone had any experience of stridor? Don't think anyone will but just needed to write it down and get it out of my head

I have no experience hun but please try not to get stressed over it. The hospital are on the case and will do what they need to. Babies feed off the emotion around them and the more you worry the more Harry could pick up on it. It's a vicious circle. If you feel yourself get upset, or your OH, just walk away, count to 10 and go back to him. It's not a dangerous condition from what I know it's just one of those things.

Good luck at the hospital hun, he's doing fab and so are you xxxxxxx

I haven't but wanted to wish u luck. It's normal for both parents to fret - I used to leave my o/h in the lounge and id go to the bedroom to bf. less stress for everyone xx

Thanks all I know we just need to stay calm and fortunately Harry is a good baby and rarely cries.

It's like we can ignore the worries for so long and then they surface again and we have a panic.

Must try and stay calm x

I explained a noise Dylan makes a lot to my doc, kind of gasping noise when he breathes in. Doc said prob a floppy larynx. Laryngomalacia? He said about 1 in 60 have it, its nothing to worry about and he will grow out of it. Wasn't referred or anything - will be interested on the outcome of your appt..... Hope you manage ok with the early start, my 6 wk check was the same and w e were both grumpy!

Ooh that's interesting bot. Thats the same thing

Think we were only referred as it was picked up the day he was born by the midwife so as we were in hospital the paed doctor saw him and just said might as well get ENT doc to check it. Prob just to cover themselves. His breathing normally is fine but can sound a little wheezy but when he cries its like a sort of squeak in the background.
