After the baby is born, it is a happy thing for the whole family, and everything that happens to the baby can affect the hearts of parents, even if it is only a trivial matter, it can make parents nervous for half a day.
However, sometimes, you really can't miss these little things!
The "purring" sound of a small baby
A small thing happened to Sister Wang's baby, but it almost made the family chaotic.
Last month, Sister Wang had just given birth to a baby, and just when the whole family was immersed in joy, the child's father found an unusual little thing.
On this day, the child's father carefully looked at the sleeping baby, a look of not seeing enough, but he found that this little baby is also like himself, sleeping and snoring?
The child's father told Sister Wang about this discovery, which frightened Sister Wang. Sister Wang and her colleagues had said before that there was nothing trivial about the child, so the husband and wife could not take care of anything else, and hurriedly took the child to the hospital.
After the examination, the doctor told Sister Wang that the child's snoring was due to congenital laryngeal cartilage dysplasia.
Laryngeal cartilage is melatometed
Congenital laryngeal cartilage dysplasia, also known as congenital laryngeal cartilage softening, mainly because the laryngeal cartilage of small infants has not yet developed well, the laryngeal tissue is weak and loose, so when inhaling, it will cause the laryngeal tissue to collapse, at this time, the laryngeal cavity of the small baby will cause laryngeal ringing.
In general, babies with laryngeal cartilage soften, when they are pushing hard or sleeping, they will make a snoring sound like spouting, sometimes it sounds like there is phlegm in the throat. Especially when the baby has a cold, it will be more obvious.
However, parents do not have to worry too much, laryngeal cartilage softening is mainly due to the baby's laryngeal incomplete development, so this phenomenon will also be alleviated with the baby's age, in general, in the baby's six months to twelve months or so will gradually alleviate.
However, there is a point that parents need to pay special attention to, if the baby chokes on milk frequently because of this, or if this situation has seriously affected breastfeeding, then parents still need to take the baby to the doctor in time.
See here, some parents may have doubts, since laryngeal cartilage is softened because the baby's laryngeal cartilage is stunted, then give the baby more calcium, is it okay?
In general, babies with laryngeal cartilage cartilage do not need additional calcium supplementation.
Because laryngeal cartilage softening is a symptom that occurs in infancy, it is not the main form of acquired nature, and it is formed when the baby is not yet born, when it is in the mother's belly.
That is to say, the laryngeal cartilage of the fetus is not fully calcified in the mother, so it is soft and thin, resulting in the problem of laryngeal cartilage softening in small babies after birth. After the baby is born, relying on calcium supplementation for the baby cannot solve the problem.
Laryngeal cartilage softening will usually gradually improve with the baby's growth, if the baby does not appear frequent choking or other symptoms that affect growth, parents do not have to interfere too much, regularly take the baby to do a good physical examination.
