Joy has had a dry cough for a couple of days now. Both me and DH have had the flu (incl a cough) but Joy is showing no visible signs of having it. She seems to cough only during her awake times and usually around feeds. Is it doctor worthy?

I can't really help you sunnyhoney, but will be interesting to see what others say as Bella has a moist cough, but other than that is happy in herself. I think if they are happy enough (i.e. not overly grizzly) I'd say Joy will be just fine

Is is a 'all the time cough' or a every now and again cough? Is it getting worse or better or no change?

If it was me, I would take the above into consideration, and take it from there.

just every now and then...and pretty much the same. I was wondering if it might be asthma. But don't want to bother the doc if it's nothing...and don't want to be the "bad mummy" for not taking her to the doc

I know it's so confusing isn't it. You could always ring either plunketline or healthline and have a chat with them

Hmm yeah, although I don't find Healthline very useful at all...everything you ring them for they say "I can't give you that kind of information" or "you need to go to the doctor"...They told me I had to see a doctor "urgently" when I rang them for help with a blocked breast (when I was expressing) - I rang my midwife who came and sorted me out, no doctor neccessary Had I gone I would have spent about $80 on a consult that I didn't really need.

I think I might take her on Monday anyway just to be on the safe side. See how she goes over the weekend.
