Hoarse sounding or vocal change

[Sherlock]

Not sure if this is health or general but I'll stick it here for now

Galen sounds hoarse today. Not croaky, more gruff, deeper sounding. He is usually very chatty and talks lots with me but today has not really done so. He has cried and grizzled and made some of his happy noises but nowhere near as many. And all the while he sounds hoarse.

He seems fine otherwise. No temp, no runny nose, feeding well and is happy as usual. A bit of wind pain as is normal for him.

Is it possible his voice is changing sound or more likely to be hoarse and have a possible sore throat? Anyone else noticed their LO's voices change around 12 weeks of age?

not too sure but funnily enough my LO has been sounding really hoarse when she's been talking to me for the last couple of days - she's not been grumpy though

OK he is really hoarse now. I guess it may be the start of a cold. Poor mite sounds so odd.

Mine has a croaky voice but also a cold/cough and I don't think it helps that she cries like a magpie. Made her voice funny this week.

He slept his longest sleep last night from 8pm till 5.30am He then fed and slept on till almost 9am

He was even more hoarse when he woke and still sounds funny now. He does have a stuffy nose that came on overnight and after he went back down at 6am I put a pillow under his mattress to keep him up a little.

He feels warm on and off but so far the thermometer does not read he is running a temp. He's feeding well and a bit chatty and awake now so shall not worry. Hopefully it will pass in a few days and he'll be back to his usual chatty self
