My two month old has this horrible breathing that sounds like he is always congested and snoring loud at the same time. Sme time it sounds like he is gasping for air. I took him in for his check up and the doctor happen to hear a little of it while I was feeding him. She said that floppy airways in infants is common and they grow out of it by age two.last night while my son was sleeping it sounded like it got worse so I recorded it. Part of me wants a second option. I read and researched a lot about it but I just don't want the doctors to miss something and his condition get worse. Is anyone dealing with this noisy scary breathing ?

my daughter is the same exact way, she always sounds so horrible and like she is struggling to breath and her doctor assured us its ok also.

My friends baby had that and he needed surgery but he did have a severe case. He needed to be resuscitated because he stopped breathing shortly after birth and his breathing was labored and whistling. He's had no issues since.

Nothing is wrong with getting a second opinion.

Good luck & I hope you get it figured out!

My now 2 year old had it. She mostly outgrew it by her first birthday. It was pretty scary sometimes. And we got a lot of scared looks and questions from strangers when we had her around people. It got worse when she got upset or worked up.

I have it on video of you want to hear it.

I would ask to see an ENT my 2 year old has had it since birth and he sees an ENT a Plumnary a GI all for his Laryngo. I would defiantly ask about it

Yes I realize this was posted a while ago but when he was first born the sent us to the NICU and he saw an ENT there and they had told us that while most cases arent severe they should be evaluated by an ENT to rule out anything else
