any of your babies always been a bit "chesty"?
ever since Thomas was born he has always had a bit of a cough (like a tickly cough), particularly in the mornings and sometimes in the evenings. at these times he's often "chesty", as in you can hear him breathing and feel as though you want to cough and clear his throat for him if that makes sense?
at first i thought it was something that all newborns do but my family have noticed it recently, and he's nearly 9 months and still doing it!
has anyone else had similar? do you think i should take him to the docs or is this completely normal?
it doesn't seem to bother him, he just coughs when he wants to. sometimes he'll cough/gag when he's eating (and therefore is sometimes sick) but i'm not sure if that is related. he forever has hiccups too but the HV said that's nothing to worry about.
thanks xx

I don't think you should worry about it. If it does seem to bother him when he has a cold or something then maybe get it checked just to see what they say. x
