Hello all. It’s my first time posting and hoping someone might have a similar experience :)
I have an almost 6 month old son who for the past 6 weeks has had a long lasting cold/ mucusy cough. At night it’s very distressing as it sounds like a he’s gagging and I have to pick him up and help him loosen the mucus.
its meant that for 6 weeks I’ve had a max of 2hrs sleep at a time as he wakes himself up constantly from coughing/being congested
ive tried everything to help him: raising the cot/saline/olbas/humidifier/steamy shower but nothing seems to help!
have also been to the GP 3x but they’ve been very dismissive as he doesn’t have a temperature and won’t recommend any other help. I don’t feel that a cough should have lasted this long though and be this disruptive??
im wondering could it be a formula intolerance? As this also coincides with me going from mostly breastfeeding to now 70% formula feeding and 30% breast
any advice would be so helpful! Thank you so much
