Laryngomalacia, Tracheomalacia, Bronchomalacia - Stridor Sound

After recently helping another mother diagnose her child with this condition. I realized I had never posted a video of Sawyer's stridor...you know the benign "noisy breathing" every doctor talks about. Hopefully this video will help other Moms determine whether their child is having stridor or not and lead to demanding more answers from their doctors. Also we live in a time with iphones and any proof you can have of your child demonstrating weird behaviors in breathing or anything else they might do try to catch it on video...Doctors will have to address your concerns if you have videos of your child doing something that is not normal vs. just listening to the mother's intuition <----which BTW is like 99% accurate I am finding! Follow your gut but document anything weird your child does with video and writings of when it happened and how many times, etc. Keep thorough notes! <3
