C Section Mucus

My little boy is 4 weeks old and has loads of mucus. He was born by emergency c section at 35 weeks. His twin sister as no mucus and is fine but he is full of it on his chest. He occasionally sneezes or coughs but I can hear him wheezing and he snores terribly! He also has a really bad sticky eye which I think is linked to blocked sinus' 😞
Does anyone know any ways to shift it?

One way to shift it might be to stick him in a sling for a bit each day. Has he improved at all since you posted? Smile

Has he got any other problems like colick or mucus in his poo?

*colic. I swear this autocorrect has it in for me Grin

Not really - he had reflux quite badly and was struggling with pooing and wind so we changed him to comfort milk which I think is helping but it's only 24 hours in!

I’m just wondering if he’s wheezy and has reflux on regular milk if it’s an allergy rather than anything to do with the way in which he arrived.

Have a read of this on Allergy UK and see what you think Smile
