My 5 week old is super congested

First, I think posting personal information here is unwise, but that's just me.

It's really difficult to tell what's going on from that video.

If you are still not happy, get a second opinion from a pediatrician, or take her to a pediatric emergency room.

That'sthe only way I know how to share the video but she's already been to 3 different doctors

I would not have her lying on her back like that. The little coughs do sound like they *might* be whooping cough, but obviously the doctors don't think so.

She was in her carseat so she was sitting up. And it has to be something. a 6 week old gasping for air isn't normal

Carseats make it slightly harder for a baby to breath. So if you have a chest cold, the carseat will make it harder for her to breath to the point you may notice. Don't get me wrong - its still safer than no carseat. Just don't keep her in the car seat.


If you don't like/trust the ped. . .get a 2nd opinion. I would care zip/nadda/zero about what people here think of the baby video.

Is she doing any better today?
