Caeserean babies and mucus on lungs

[Pixie]

Jeremiah has a slight mucus cough for 10 days now in no other way is he ill. So I am "assuming" due to him being born via c/section he's retiained mucus on his lungs.

If your baby had this how long did it last?

I'm popping him to the DR's next week if it continues as it's slowing going but still, better to be safe than sorry!

My DS had it for a few weeks I think, I took him to the Dr to check, and thats what they said it was. I thought it was anyway

Yes a couple of my boys had this. My DS2 was still spluttering every now and then a few weeks after the birth.

Just get him checked out for your own peace of mind.

Maybe 2 or 3 weeks

DS needed to be suctioned just after the birth, so he never had the cough.

Thanks girls, he just had a huge spew of which was only mucus so hopefully it's on it's way out.

I remember my son doing the same thing. You only just reminded me with that post.

I am pretty sure that he got a lot better after that.

That's good Pixie! Sounds like he may be on the mend. DS had a lot in his stomach after the birth and had to have his stomach suctioned about 8 hours later as well. Does make me wonder sometimes if that contributed at all to him being reflux? Maybe he would have been better off clearing it on his own like JJ.

Good luck x

no idea pixie, but read this thread as I'm having a c/s soon so I want as much info as possible.

Just wanted to say though that your little boy is absolutely gorgeous! He is such a cutie!
