7 week old with mucus

[Lou2423]

Hi all,

my 7 week old was born via c section and has had bronchiolitis a couple of weeks ago, he’s always been a bit mucusy but since being ill it seems to have gotten a lot worse.

its usually at night and he’s sounding so awful, but it doesn’t seem to bother him! We currently use a humidifier, tilt the cot, use snuffle baby oil in hot water during the night and pop a bit in a. Muslin at the end of the cot, and use saline drops. We’ve tried a nasal aspiration but it’s stuck in his throat so nothing comes out of his nose.

is there anything else we could be doing to get rid of it? Xxx

I have 7 week old son who has reflux is on gaviscon. My son doesnt really bother him same sleeps fine amazing he was prem. But certain feeds morning and tea time when the mucus musnt settle right on belly he brings up thick curdled milk and snot.
Been using saline drops and nasal aspirator. Few snots come out. Shall I continue or anything else i can do

What milk is LO on now and has anyone suggested to possibility of CMPA?

@Lou2423 how is your LO doing now?

We used the snuffle baby vapour oil in a hot bowl of water which seemed to help! He’s 13 weeks now and he’s cleared up completely! Xx

He's on cow and gate.
He's was prem 5lb 10. He's now 9lb 5oz and been doing fab with his feeds normally with gaviscon. I just put it down swallowing snots and he's a nightmare bringing his wind up. Never thought of him of having CMPA. What's the symptoms for that and I'm guessing you go to Dr's for that to get tested or health visitor
