Spotting Asthma in your baby or toddler
Diagnosing babies and toddlers with asthma is challenging because it’s difficult to measure lung function in this young group. What makes diagnosis easier is knowing your child’s symptoms.

Tip # 5 – Eat-Play-Sleep-Repeat – While there should be a routine in putting your baby down for a nap, you should also implement a routine for when they wake up.
Tip # 4 – Regular sleep schedule. It’s important to keep your baby on a fairly regular sleep schedule. This means naps should be at least 30 to 45 minutes but no more than 3 hours. If your baby doesn’t get enough sleep, this could lead to them becoming overtired, fussy, and result in difficulty falling asleep — and staying asleep — in the evening.
