baby is really hoarse

[lightweight]

DD is 16 weeks and has a really hoarse voice. She screamed a lot Thurs night and it seemed to start from that - but it hasn't got better yet - any suggestions?

It should get better in a few days. Ethan screamed quite a bit a month ago because his teething hurt, so much so that he lost his voice. No more cooing or gurgling. It did come back after a week though.

Could just be the crying or a bit of a sore throat - but another thing to check is if she is thirsty. Madeline had this as a tiny baby, and our HV said it can be a sign that they need more fluids. x
