Baby sounds hoarse?

Question

My little girl is 2 weeks and 2 days old, she sounds a bit hoarse. Her breathing sounds clear unless she's laying some type of way. She's not running a fever. Also she acts like she's clearing her throat sometimes. I'm a FTM, and every little thing is scaring me. I figured I'd ask here before I made an appointment. I just switched her formula yesterday from Similac Advance to Similac Sensitive, and she's harder to burp now. Am I over worrying or should I make her an appointment?

Answer

It could be reflux! My girl’s reflux has always makes her sound congested and phlemy in her throat. Pedi assures us her lungs sound great, no cough or fever, we just clear out her nose everyday and do steamy bathroom sits sometimes to help. It’s sporadic, sometimes are better than others and it’s pretty random. With reflux and eating sometimes it can stick in the back of their throats. Definitely mention it to your pedi and maybe take a video of your nugget doing what you’re concerned about in case during your visit it doesn’t happen! Good luck 💖

Answer

Sometimes babies get congested and they're also just learning to breathe so it'll be weird sometimes. But still take her to the doctor to make sure.
