InactiveMy 2 month old keeps making this weird noise in her sleep. It is a gasping noise, like one someone might make if they swallowed and it went down the wrong way, like towards their lungs. She is breathing in when she makes this noise. is this cause for immediate concern, or can it wait till her next dr appointment?

Inactivenot sure… you should call and ask teh doctor. if you think she could be aspirating in her sleep then you would want to do some things for that. Is her bed elevated to let gravity help keep things down? That might be something you could try now to see if that helps.
If it were me, I wouldn’t panic or worry, but I would call the doctor to see what they thought.May 15, 2009 at 5:17 pm #62567hellbennt
Keymasternot sure if it’s one of the ‘malacias’ (‘floppy airway’) ?

InactiveKendra used to do this and i did not notice as much after we started proping her up at about a 30 degree angle. I hope you can figure something out.

Inactivesometimes I hear it when he eats I do the cross cradle hold for breastfeeding, other times I hear it when he is sitting upright asleep, maybe it has to do with the reflux as well

InactiveSounds like stridor. Hailey had that. It’s related to a floppy airway. The sound is scary. BUT, I always believe in asking the doc just to be sure.

InactiveThe 3 things that came to mind were: apnea, aspiration and stridor. I hope you found out what it was and figured out how to treat it! These things are so scary!

Inactivewhen in doubt, it is always good to at least call and ask. sylvia had obstructive sleep apnea and she would gasp and sound like she was struggling for to breath when she was asleep. while she was a wake, she sounded fine. her tonsils were really large and were touching when she went to sleep.

InactiveHey I am new. My two month old son has reflux and he does that and it just started. He does it in his sleep along with flailing arms. Apparently GERD can get worse for up to six months. However, it seems that my son will have a decent (not great day) and then several terrible days. We are soooooooo tired ! However, I run into people all the time who had GERD babies and they assure me it does go away. HURRY UP !!

InactiveMy little guy does that too, but the dr said that is normal and lots of babies do that.
Hmm…. the more I read everyone else’s posts I’ve come to this conclusion:
either
1. My dr doesn’t think its a big deal (won;t put him on meds, thinks Sam is fine as he is gaining weight – hello! – he is in PAIN!!!)
2. Or everyone else’s drs are quick to prescribe…. -
