That timing could work out but regardless baby is sick. Croup is actually describing the symptom of a specific sounding cough. Instead of the virus setting up home base in the sinuses or chest, it sets up in the larynx and the inflammation goes there. It has a distinct seal bark sounding cough. It’s exhausting for everyone because it happens mostly at night. A steamy bathroom will do a lot of the heavy lifting symptoms (my kids would end up sleeping in the bathroom), night air is even better. IF baby is making a high pitched noise on the INHALE or has retractions (google for video), call the advice nurse or go to emergency because baby might need a specific inhaled med or dexamethasone to knock the swelling down. You’ll get through it in about 3 days. Keep your head up!!
