My 3 month old baby is very chesty...?

My 3 month old is very chesty, he has had it since birth and i have been to the doctor on numerous occasions. The doctor keeps telling me that its just mucus and it will find its way out basically. He also keeps prescribing saline nasal drops as he also feels it could just be a blocked nose, i've used these but to no avail. Over the last couple of days, my son has seemed to become even more chesty ( i personally do not think its just a nose blockage as when i put my ear to my sons chest it sounds like that). He is having trouble sleeping for long periods of time and is now also having trouble finishing his bottle. I'm making another appointment with my doctor today but their not open for another hour so just wondered if anyone else had had this with their child?
Thank you.

Answer:
I think you should take him to a different doctor. You know when something is wrong. You're his mother and you know best. My son is battling an ear infection and a bad cough right now...I took him to his regular doctor with the ear infection...then when his cough got bad I couldn't get an appointment with his regular doctor so I took him to a different clinic. She told me he was fine and told me to go home an wait it out. I then took him back to his regular doctor...who diagnosed him with croup and gave him medicine...Like I said...you know when something is wrong...be persistent. Try a different doctor. In my experience it was the opposite but if your baby has been chesty for 3 months...something isn't right!! And obviously you know you're right...otherwise you wouldn't be concerned.

I have had an experience where a doctor insisted that something was this or that and it turned out to be something different. Seek a second opinion. Your child could have anything from just mucus to an allergy that needs to be dealt with.

I'm not a parent at all, never had a baby, but if I were you I'd take the child to another doctor for a second opinion. You're right, and go with your motherly instinct, that is sounds like something more serious is going on and the current doctor does not seem to be taking it very seriously.

My three year old was like that as an infant and it turned out that she was born with asthma and the doctors missed it for the first 6 months of her life. In fact, they hospitalized her twice thinking she had bronchitis. We only found out because I mentioned to the pediatrician quite by accident that both my older daughter and I had it. Ask to have him tested.

this young, every baby has problems finishing their bottle. their might be some fluid still stuck in him. having trouble sleeping? of course, he's only three month! keep talking to your doctor, worry only if he starts behaving untypical. i know being a new mom is stressful, take it it with an ounce of humor. your baby knows when you are stressed, it will stress, too!

Change your Dr.

Mucus build up means milk alergy to me. I would switch to a soy formula. Not all babies exhibit colic the same. If you really think there is a nasal blockage, you can seek out a pediatric ear, nose and throat doctor to confirm your belief.
