Someone help pls, is this normal??

post #1 of 3
Thread Starter 

I notice that whenever my baby lays down and breathes in deeply in between her ribs like in her sternum area...it seems to sort of sink down slightly. i also notice this whenever she has the hiccups (more so when hiccuping)..

 

I am wondering if any one else has seen this? If you're not sure would you possibly be able to check for me, as i am really worried:(

 

I might also want to mention that she is a very skinny girl, only in the 8th percentile so  it's more noticeable with her?

How old is baby? Maybe just check in with her ped, but unless she's having TROUBLE breathing it may just be because she is so skinny? I have a fat baby...cant see much under his rolls :)

 

If you have insurance you can probably call a Nurses hotline, if it's MediCare you can go to CHDP clinics (google them in you rarea).

 

Good luck :)

Maybe she's got a slight case of Pectus Excavatum. Like pp said, I wouldn't worry unless she's struggling to breath. Maybe bring it up at the next WBV.
