Lexi will be 9 months on the 9th and we just found out that she has asthma. I had it as a child and so did my brother. DH's brother and his daughter also had/have it. It was something that we had kept an eye out for because her pediatrician said that she was at increased risk to develop it.
We had to special order a chamber/mask for her inhaler (flovent) because the pharmacies don't stock them. I tried to give her her first dose of it, and she kept pulling it off and trying to lick or eat it. I have to give her two puffs twice a day, and I'm not sure how I'm going to manage this if she keeps pulling it off. She did inhale some of it, but I want to be sure she's getting enough.
Does anyone else have babies with asthma, and if so, what do you do to make this go a little more smoothly? She isn't on a nebulizer, just an inhaler. Should I try to do it during her naps or what?
