Baby coughing while crying

Wriggley1123

I'm going to call my dr tomorrow, but just wondering if it's normal for a baby to cough while they are crying. My LO is 4 weeks today, and at night has been crying. She often coughs while crying. I'm a FTM, so I'm not sure if this is normal or something more serious. She doesn't have a fever or typically cry at other times. TIA for any insight!

I think this is normal. When DS was really young, his cry would kind of start out as a cough then as he got more worked up, he'd cough during the cry. Same with DD.

Yep. That's how I know he's really pissed off.

I think this is a little different, but LO does a little cough right *before* he cries. It actually kind of amuses us. (Like, if you couldn't tell from his face he was about to cry, now you know!) we call it the "pre-cry cough."

LO does this if she cries so much that she dries her mouth and throat, it makes her cough and gag. Means she is sooooo worked up.
