My daughter is 1 month old now, her first 2 weeks being spent in NICU. When she was there she was diagnosed with stridor. I did not feel comfortable with it in the hospital, and told them i didnt feel comfortable bringing her home neither. It is an awful thing, but i was wondering about others experiences with stridor in babies. I feel that she is gasping for air too much, and also, she only does this while eating or with a binki in her mouth..

The way I understand it "stridor" is a symptom, it is a name for the sound of the breathing caused by something. My oldest is my preemie but my baby was full term and his stridor is almost worst then his brothers was because it is more constant. Our pedi thinks it's mostly due to thier reflux and maybe allergies. Yes my oldest grew ot of it, but he still has problems with allergies and reflux, so I get frustrated that no one really sees the babies as a problem because I know what it leads to and want to start doing something about it now. You might ask about reflux if her stridor occurs when eating or "sucking". You might also notice it if she is on her stomach or if she is teething if reflux is involved.
