Mucousy spit up mormal?

Question

my 4 and a half week old has litle bits of mucous on her chin or neck after spitting up recently..I've noticed some conjestion in her breathing (not too bad) but the mucuos in her spit up is worrying me. I'm going to make her an appt tomorrow with her pediatrician-but- is this ok? She'll also make a slight gasping noise -on;y sometimes though..It's not constant..No fever..Is she sick or is this ok?

Answer 1

With all the bugs going around at the moment, it could be possible she is a little sick. Not sure where your from, but here in Melb Australia, its that try there is dust everywhere which causes my whole family to be a little contested.

You did the right thing organizing to see a doctor, but I really think that bubs is ok

Answer 2

is it drool? if not better check with doctor.

Answer 3

My Daughter (almost 12 weeks) started doing the exact same thing at about your Daughter's age and it turned out (after a further 6 weeks of investigation) that she has a cows milk protein allergy. Anyway, I'm not saying that your precious little one has the same problem but if the Doctor doesn't come up with anything when you visit and she continues to be congested etc, it might be worth considering. Best of luck!

Answer 4

She may possibly just have the sniffles. If the color is clear (or even has a little milky color) then it is okay. If it has a yellow color I would definitely make her an appointment. If you use formula, it could possibly be the cause. As long as she is breathing okay, I would just wait until tomorrow and call her pediatrician and ask their advice.
