What Causes Hoarse Voice While Crying?
My 4-week old baby has just developed a hoarse voice to her cry without any other symptoms...although we seem to sense some-what of a stuffy nose. She is acting normal, eating well, and I breastfeed - it doesn t seem to bother her (she can breathe just fine). Any ideas what is causing the hoarseness?

Hi...hoarse cry during crying or agitation could be due to acute laryngotracheobronchitis or laryingitis. If the baby is comfortable and feeding well then you need not worry. But if she is having respiratory distress then I suggest you take her to the nearest emergency room immediately.
