Choking/coughing

So we don't have a doctor. Amanda hasn't seen one since... Well, ever I guess since we were under midwife care until 6 weeks. (She gets her height/weight checkups with the health nurse when we get inoculations).

She is always coughing and spluttering and choking. She doesn't choke when she eats at all... Just randomly. As in, she is currently sleeping and just had a coughing/choking fit (which is why I'm posting this). But in her sleep. She doesn't even wake up when it happens (!).

Does anyone else have a coughy baby?

I'm kind of scared that she's allergic to the dogs. They're a pain in the butt, but it would break my heart to get rid of them (they would probably go live with family, but I would still be upset).

I'll probably try and get into a clinic, but I thought I'd see if anyone has any experience....

    Charlie was doing this in his sleep, and our doctor suggested a humidifier and I've never looked back. He sleeps much sounder and rarely has coughing fits in his sleep anymore

    Hmmm... Could be. It happens lying down and sitting up. I'll have to make note of whether it follows any particular food... But she's done it pretty much since birth, both while breastfed and on formula.

    DH has really bad allergies to almost everything, but I don't know if that's genetic (I have no allergies and M doesn't either). He also had problems with the valve on his stomach when he was a baby....

    I guess I'll have to try to get into a doctor before my opening. :)

    DD is a coughing baby too. She is alo super snotty all the time. I think nothing of it since she has always been this way. Could it be that she chokes on her spit? This happens to me when I sleep or even when awake.

    My baby coughs/chokes all the time. Sometimes checking on spit, other times she fakes it cause she thinks it is funny

    @mystererae‌ I mentioned it at the appointment, but they didn't seem concerned. Also this weird thing that she's done since birth where she shakes her head back and forth rapidly, but that didn't seem to be of concern, either...  :/
