About a new born baby's Laryngomalacia
My sister's boy baby is suffering from Laryngomalacia from birth. He is now 2 and half months old. He is vomiting a lot , almost on every feed . He also had little noise breathing. He is currently weighing 4.480... our doctor suggested domstal drops and nexpro junior.
My question is, how long does it takes to control vomiting and to cure Laryngomalacia??

Babies with laryngomalacia have reflux because the digestive system is still developing, and the muscle between the food pipe and stomach is weak.
It usually starts improving at this age with medicines and feeding care.
• Laryngomalacia gets better on its own by 6 to 12 months, and is usually gone by 18–24 months.
• As long as your baby is gaining weight and feeding well, this condition is manageable.
Next Steps
At Home, keep in mind to
*Feed your baby in a semi-upright position.
* Hold the baby upright for 20–30 minutes after each feed.
*Avoid sudden movement or laying flat right after feeding.
Breast feeding is best for baby .
If bottle feeding , keep 2-3 hours gap between feeds , babies tend to over feed with bottle .
Health Tips
See the Doctor immediately
* If vomiting becomes forceful or greenish
* Breathing difficulty, fast, or noisy even at rest
* Poor weight gain or signs of weakness
* Lips or face turning bluish
Or any other unusual.
