Son of 2.5 months has laryngomalacia
My baby has laryngomalacia. Recently we have observed that he cannot sleep properly. Whenever we lie him down to sleep he gets up gasping within 1 or 2 minutes. He sleeps when we keep him on our shoulder. He is gaining weight properly. Now he is 5 kg. How can we help him sleep? I have seen pediatricians. They say laryngomalacia will resolve with time. But my baby is not sleeping. Sometimes he coughs loudly . Does he have gerd? Doctor has advised to take nexpro junior for 2 weeks. Is it okay to take this medicine?How can we resolve this.

Laryngomalacia is actually a congenital condition affecting the larynx, not an infection. It's commonly seen in infants and usually resolves on its own.
