rsv newborn babies

you also might want to ask your cardiologist or primary doctor about if your little one should recieve the synagis vaccine. this is to help lesson the effects of RSV (this is a viral infection) most kids can fight it off, if they are healthy to begin with. i am not sure if your little one would qualify. I wouldn't see why not. this infection from what I was toldif it affects newborns who are premmeis have a heart condition, lung issues and a low immune system.

Doesnt matter sweetie you need to take him in because hes only three weeks and hes a premie. Premie babies are at a higher risk of getting RSV as well.

How long are you going to wait to take your newborn out into the world?

My 11 week has rsv .. He was full term .. Has any other mother had this in a infant ..

Finally a few days ago i took him in again to the ER n they found out he has a virus newborns have been getting its Called Rsv n if they would have tested it before they would have found it i was So pissed!!! So now today we got out of the childerns hospital they sent him home with oxygen but to me he still seems bad but they that he was Fine!!

RSV is more prevelant those months but can happen any month and is very dangerous for a newborn. My son had it at 2 weeks and being told about intubation, medovac and permenant lung damage is not worth it.

For babies there is really not much you can do other than get humidifier for her room, the cough will go away on it own if it's dry and not wet but remember that it may take 2-3 weeks for cough to go away. Try to prop the baby head up during sleep. Make sure baby gets lots of fluids to stay hydrated and just monitor the temperature babies and kids can tolerate higher temps than adults can as long as it doesn't go over 101.

my grandson, born 12/24/12, was hospitalized for rsv on jan 20. at some point he was pulling at the central line iv in his neck, which came out, and was given morphine for pain meds. after some time he was given methadone to come off the morphine. he came home from the hosp on feb 19th and had been off the methadone about a couple days. he has crying episodes and seems in pain. his mom called the nurses who told her he could be having withdrawal.

The shot isn't so much for you as it is for the baby. You could have almost no symptoms and still pass on a full blown flu to your new born, which is what your doctor is worried about. You are a healthy individual with a good immune system but that doesn't necessarily mean your newborn will be.

im getting scared about labor now and just having a newborn thats all mine and my responsibility ..

Why do you have to take care of others when you have a newborn? Sorry just curious.

Some babies are born with chalk teeth.. And I've heard of babies teething as early as 2 months but most get their teeth around 6 months, some sooner..

Oh he also has a little rash on his face which I know is common in babies that have a cold or other type of infection... the thing im worried about is RSV??? I think thats what its called. I read online it usually shows up between 4-6 week olds and he is 4 weeks... also im worried about the dark yellow mucus being an infection like pneunomia or something.. Gosh I hate the internet!!

Sometimes babies do things that are perfectly normal. My rule of thumb: Moms know best and if you feel there is something not right then get her checked. I would rather have the dr. explain this is normal and everyone go home than to have something wrong and not get checked. I took my babies plenty of times and there was nothing wrong and learned a lot but I have also taken them and there was something wrong and was glad I did take them. Goodluck and congrats!

My son is going to be 2 months old soon and a couple of days after he was born they told me he has RSV, i have been in and out of the hospital so many times and he dose not seem to be getting any better. I have read everybody stories and How they lost their loved ones and i am so scared that it might happen to my son. Please is there anything that i can do to prevent this from getting worse???

I brought Brody to his pediatrician last week because he was very congested. After a nose swab was tested it was determined that he has RSV. Since it's a virus it can't be treated with antibiotics, so she instructed me to get a cool mist humidifier and keep his nasal pasages clear by using saline solution. The only symptom he's had is the congestion. There's no fever, coughing, mucous coming out, etc.

Saturday he was having lots of nasal congestion and coughing so I took him to the ER. He tested positive for RSV so the last few days have been scary. We are doing a cool mist humidifier with eucalyptus oil at night, albuterol breathing treatments and keeping his nose suctioned out. I hope he gets better soon but I did learn that apparently you cant trust family to let you know...

Prayers but don't stress all babies handle it diff my daughter has respiratory problems when she gets fever it never fails to hit 105 scares the crap out of me but her body handles it my neice had 103 and was a very I'll child anyway praying make sure they test for rsv and ear infections

however from what I was told by several cardiologist, premature babies and babies born with a heart defect are at risk of getting this disease and having it be more severe then normally would affect a child. there are shots that the babies get once a month called synagisis (not sure if I am spelling it right) but they get it to help LESSEN the affects of RSV.

How much can a newborn eat .?

As for sucking other times, almost all babies do this. Sucking for babies is a means of self comfort, which is why lots of babies and young children use soothers and/or their thumbs. So sucking does not necessarily mean hunger. I know, it's so hard to know what the best thing is isn't it. Your doing great! Trust your instincts and if your concerned she isn't eating enough, talk to her Dr. Weight gain is the best way to tell. Another way is her output.

My babies wear newborn for 2-3 weeks before moving up. But both me and my husband are very small and we have small babies. Depends on how big your baby is.

My son was in newborn for atleast a month. He was 7 lbs at birth. It really depends on the baby.
