Ok this is going to sound silly....

But I have a question about Archer. Tonight Dh scared him a little and he cried for a bit about it.... nothing MAJOR, but prolonged for a few minutes. Then he finally stopped and Perrin threw a toy which of course hit him in the forehead and the crying started up again. That time I noticed that his voice sounded very hoarse. Like he was losing it or something, but I have never seen a baby lose their voice over a little crying so thought I would check to see what you guys thought too. He seems fine in every other way, happy, laughing (though it comes out so sad sounding) and doing whatever else. I just worry a tiny bit that maybe it's a breathing thing?

Jace sounds like that if he's been crying for a while. Or if he cried, calmed down and cried again. I think it sounds worse that it is, though. It's the only time I've heard that hoarse sound from him.

Do you hear it at any other times?

I never had until tonight, but now since it happened he is still hoarse. laughing, cooing, whining... it's all coming out hoarse sounding now.

Jason has a slight cold right now and he sounds hoarse when he cries. He has done this once before when he wasn't sick and I think it was because he is usually a pretty quiet guy and that day he happened to talk a lot and cry a lot. SO maybe he used all his voice.

Yeah it might be a cold or post nasal drip causing it!

Marissa sounds like this every once in a while. And its not a thing like she was crying for a long time and then got hoarse. She rarely cries and thats why I could never figure it out, how do you get hoarse without "talking" a lot? Then she had a cold, but wasn't hoarse really at all while she had the cold... It just happens randomly here!
