Just got out of the NICU today. The nurses caught the grunting and shallow breathing sound shortly after birth and we were admitted into the NICU for 9 days. Now we are sitting here at home and terrified at every noise. It's not easy to decipher these noises, stay strong and use instincts.

[@OceanSwimmer]

Great content with very clear illustrations of what to look for. I have one small suggestion: Parents should NOT depend on resolving any questions about cyanosis, apnea, jaundice, or abnormal breathing patterns with a phone call. Be proactive and TAKE YOUR BABY TO THE EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT if you see any of those signs. It is impossible to accurately diagnose and monitor an infant over the telephone, even if you send texted photos. Reassurance is worth it, and nobody will fault parents for being vigilant. Better safe than sorry!

[@AJ5]

That's good suggest but when they said "contact a member of your healthcare team", I think they were referring to medical personnel and not the parents

[@amberblyledge7859]

And if you EVEN THINK something is wrong and the doctor doesn't believe you, *FIND A SECOND OPINION!*

My daughter was born 5 weeks early & had jaundice. We got discharged from the hospital and then by her 3rd day of follow up, her levels were high enough for her to need phototherapy. I was so scared but glad she was treated when she was. They say jaundice levels are majorly concerned w| in the first 3-5 days so they can regulate it and then let the levels plateau. Scary experience but I’m glad I went through that for my first baby so I know what to look for next time + she loved the heat/lights of phototherapy lol! Sending love to all the parents who watch this video! 🤍

Usually when that happens you just need to put them by a window for 5-10 mins every hour until they arent yellow anymore

@@victoriapadron3809 same! That’s what I did for the first 48 hrs at home. So tues/wed she was in her bassinet by the window every hr unless she was feeding. I went in w| her Thursday (by this day she was 5 days old) they did a check at her well visit, sent me for the bloodwork and called me to admit her within 2 hrs bc the levels were increasing not decreasing. We did the phototherapy at the hospital for almost 24hrs and then they started to plateau. She loved the little box they put them in lol. I’m just happy they caught it right away. 🤍

[@CJBruce]

THANK YOU SO MUCH for this video. It randomly came up on Autoplay for me about a week ago and I watched it because it seemed short and interesting. Yesterday, I noticed some of these signs in my baby even though they seemed relatively okay otherwise, but remembering this video I called for advice and they sent the paramedics out to me immediately! Almost spent a night in the hospital but luckily they were well enough to be let out, but monitored. I would not have noticed my kid was in distress without having watched this!

[@cherrypie7861]

Grunting is absolutely normal in most babies but this video didn't specify that. Grunting coupled with the other symptoms IS a medical emergency. Secondly as a 911 dispatcher, no one is ever going to deny you an ambulance for a medical issue especially not for a baby. So of course they sent paramedics to you. The fact that your baby was not deemed ill enough to be kept in the hospital is a great thing and I'm glad to hear it. Just wanted to clarify those other points though.

[@CJBruce]

@@cherrypie7861 That is true, but my baby was actually in distress- they were given oxygen as had low oxygen and high blood pressure and the only reason we ended up not staying in the hospital is because we were assigned community nurses to come look in on us every few hours at home. I was told that it was good I brought them in early, as they had a virus that would have gotten much worse as quickly as overnight and could have been dangerous for how young they were. I think this video did a great job of showcasing potentially abnormal signs that a lot of parents wouldn't be certain about otherwise

[@harrietweathervane]

what this video fails to mention is that grunting is NORMAL in newborns - it's air moving across the vocal cords. it is ABNORMAL if the span lasts longer than 15 seconds, especially if persistently loud and/or accompanied by nasal flaring which means the baby is struggling to get enough oxygen - these are signs of respiratory distress. i usually really like the nucleus videos but they dropped the ball on this one imo. you have to know what is normal to know what isn't! ETA: If you are a worried parent, trust your instincts. It is always better to go to the ER and be told your baby is in perfect health than to stay home hoping everything is fine when it isn't. Babies with respiratory problems tend to compensate okay for a while, then crash fast. A video and an online comment should never be substitutes for a physician's assessment.

@@nyysharee5798 hey i just had a newborn and my doctor said the noise is from possible amniotic fluid still in the respiratory system and their respiratory system is just still very soft and weak so they may breathe that way when in certain positions or if they’re sleeping deep enough. i would say if it’s consistent ask your doctor. idk how old your baby is but mine is a week now and they definitely grow out of it as they get older. also check for boogers because that ended up being part of the problem for us.

@@aimankhalid5222 if the jaundice is a problem then the doctors will let you know and give the proper care baby needs. My daughter had jaundice pretty bad and had to stay in the incubator under the lights in the hospital for 4 days. When it still wasn't better we were sent home with a bili blanket we had to use for two weeks. All you can really do yourself is making sure they're fed well and have a good amount of poops. Pooping helps get rid of jaundice. Also we were told to bring our daughter out into the sunlight for a lion bit a few times a day which helps too. Your doctor will let you know if the jaundice is a problem and if more care is needed. If they didn't instruct you to do anything then it's not a worry. Majority of babies are born with some level of jaundice but once they start eating and popping it will usually clear up.

is grunting a continuous noise ? sometimes my baby makes a weird noise but it’s only when he’s waking up and stretching or moving around, it kind of sounds like the grunting, but it’s not exactly like it, and it stops only after a couple seconds if that, so I don’t think it’s grunting, but was wondering if grunting is a continuous sound over and over again.

Good job

I lost my baby last week, just barely 24 hours after birth. Baby was ok, after a while she became motionless, no pulse. Efforts were made to resuscitate her but to no avail. Please what could have been the problem? I need answers please. Though before then glucose water was given to her but she had difficulty taking it in. A tube was put down her inside to suck out the fluid.

[@Laura-sp8nb]

I'm so sorry for your loss. I hope you get the answers you are seeking.

[@InitialPC]

that grunting sound is horrifying, if I hear my baby make that noise im taking them to see the doctor

Cute baby animation😁

[@cozzihoffmaann]

Video only took in consideration of caucasian babies. Dark-skin people and babies may exhibit signs that are like cyanosis but are not. The same for erythema and pallor.

[@hopeful_krystal]

cyanosis tends to make the fingernails blue and the area around the mouth gray or very pale..maybe they check that way

[@cozzihoffmaann]

@@hopeful_krystal Even it my nursing textbooks. They look at both signs for Caucasians and non Caucasians for cyanosis. This is why it's important to not really on KZbin videos on conduct personal research. KZbin videos can medically and terminally be inaccurate

My baby died due to distress which was picked up straight after giving birth...he only lived for a week in NICU..

[@angelarobinson3982]

Good to know

[@pietekoo5559]

When the lower parts of the airways and the little airsacks at the end of the airpipes in the lung collapses eg. with infection in the lower part of the lungs (pneumonia), it causes respiratiry distress due to less oxygen taken in by the lungs. In order to increase the pressure, to open the airsacks and distal small airpipes, the baby involuntarily and instinctively partially closes the upper part of the throat at the level of the vocal chords in order to breath out against resistance - thus increasing the pressure backwards in the lungs and thus opening up more of the collapsed airsacks and distal small airpipes to allow absorption of more oxygen. This exhaling against a partial closed throat / vocal chords, causes a grunting sound. It is like straining on the toilet! Try it yourselves to feel the effect of increasing the pressure in the lungs. In medical terms it is called peep (positive end expiratory pressure). Not to be confused with croup where there is mostly no lung problem, but only infection and swelling of the vocal chords which results in drooling and barking cough and stridor with breathing.

Hi..we have a newborn who came out of nicu just over a week ago after being in for nearly 3 weeks..due to pneumothorax and they also found pneumonia a day later...so I was interested in your comment as it seems you know your stuff..and we are still trying to get our heads around what happened to our baby..we were under the impression the collapsed lung happened at birth and the pneumonia was just bad luck on top of that..but it seems they might go hand in hand ???

[@pietekoo5559]

@@kellyharrison2543 Good day. I trust your baby is doing well now and will bring much joy to your life. I want to respond to your question by saying that is difficult and also unfair to comment on any case without all relevant information available I would strongly advise to discuss with the treating peadiatrician all the concerns and questions you may have, for going ahead with questions unanswered could lead to wrong assumptions and speculations. In general I can say that pneumothorax in newborns and neonatal period is not uncommon. Equally so with pneumonia in newborns. Pneumothorax could be spontaneous or as result of lung disease including pneumonia or occur during resuscitation or ventilation etc. So yes, the one may be complicated by the other, but not always so.

[@humbertomontel73]

What did you do ? Does she still make grunting noises

[@gabrielahursey2971]

My baby is 3 weeks and he grunts all the time. It's usually when he is gassy I think. I try to pick him up and pat his back. Not sure if that actually does something to help, but after a bit he often farts or falls asleep and stops the grunting.

[@June-jt2lv]

I’m glad someone commented this because my baby is 3 weeks old and he’s grunting. I’m taking him to the doc next week, but I assume it’s gassiness because he settles after I try to burp him for 10-15 minutes

[@kokocipher685]

C-section newborns are more prone to transient dyspnea because of fl. in the pulmonary interstitial as compare to vaginal delivered neonates. During labor and through the birth canal, fetus' catecholamines are substantially elevated, promoting clearance of fluids from the lungs. There is some elevation during late gestation as well, which is why preterm babies are at greatest risk for breathing problems in addition to surfactant deficiency.

[@eastcoasteric]

Practically every baby grunts or has odd breathing patterns at first. Id hope that most parents pay enough attention to their babies - to know when something is off.

I still need a little help in distinguishing between retraction and belly breathing.... :(

[@JakeEgbert_]

If a baby has those breathing problems . It’s best to go see the doctor . I thought it normal for some baby but then they get stronger and stronger everyday . But always go see the doctor or pediatrician to go check up on baby to see if he’s going to be fine .
