Panting Baby

ForeverNewlyWeds · February 2014

Does anyone else have a panting baby? DS seems totally happy and healthy (minus a little sneeze here and there) but when he gets excited it seems like he starts to pant which may or may not lead to a small dry cough. It never lasts very long and doesn't seem to bother him aside from coughing but he does it frequently. Is this normal?

ETA: we'll ask the pedi too - I just don't know how to describe it without setting off alarm bells because it has to do with breathing - but it really just seems like he's over exciting himself. Just want to make sure I'm not overlooking something.

Yep. She gets excited during tummy time and sounds like a little puppy. :o3

Yup DD does this too when she gets excited. Usually in her jumperoo.

Yes. This is usually accompanied by kicking legs

Yep, Haddock pants, but usually I refer to him as a kitten because when we were still nursing and I had thrush it felt like a cat was chewing on my nips. I started calling him patches the cat and it kind of stuck, lol.

He sometimes pants when he really gets going in his exersaucer.

Yep. DD pants all the time. We just call her a puppy. Usually she pants more when she is excited.

Yup

Yes, after he runs on the walker for a while. I wouldn't worry too much.

Yes, and he was doing this wheezing breathing. I took him to the doctor and everything was fine.

I laughed at the boob induced panting. Thanks everyone! One less thing to worry about after a long day and about six inches of snow to shovel before I sleep.

The twins pant prior to feedings, boob or solids. Cracks me up.
