does anyone listen to their child's lungs once in a while?

Yes! Although I have not been trained I do think that after 18 yrs. I know what my girls sound like.

I have used a stethescope to just listen so that I know what they sound like on a "normal" basis and when they are sick so that I know when something different might be going on. I also will just lay my ear on their front, back, sides and chest just to listen. Again when well and not well. How do you know what you are hearing if you only listen when they are sick? Kinda like "is my throat red?" and you only look in there once in a while when their throat is sore, how would you really know?

Now, I don't HAVE/NEED to listen to my Anna's lungs but when I do, it's to hear how beautiful they sound.

I think we should all know what our kids sound like because we are Mom/Dad and nurse, teacher, counselor etc.

I do listen to both of my boys from time to time. I want to check and see if I hear any wheezing, etc. I just want to be sure. <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif" border="0">

I asked this question because I've been hearing ronchi and wheezing (but most often it's just ronchi) every single day for the past 2 months.....just wanted to see if I was the only one...he lungs sound clear only at night time....

so I guess it isn't a common thing to hear that on a daily basis even in children who is known to have respiratory issus

I listen to my son's lungs every night before he goes to bed. He has a snoring sound often, but only at night.
