Only advice I can give you for your daughter at this age is this, if she has recently been feed, doesn't need changed, and is simply screaming. Let her scream. The lungs develop last and a good hour long scream or two a day will build her lungs up, help to clear whats in them. And in the long run provider her with a much more stable bace to stand on later in life.</end quote><br><br>Excuse me, but this is really a <span style="font-weight: bold;">grandmother's myth!<br>It was already proven back in the seventies that letting a baby cry is really damaging the health of the baby. The oxygen level in the blood drops and can even result in having a low oxygen level in the brain, which can cause brain cells to die. Also the stress hormones weaken the imune system. The lungs will also not benefit from this. <br>And also letting the baby cry damages the <span>sense of basic trust, which is so important for a child to build up so it can get self confident and strong!<br>It is also proven that babys cry less if you respond to them always early. This is also logical. They don't need to make a "drama" because they know that somebody cares. <br><br>So please, NEVER let your baby cry. It has to be sure that you are always there for her/him!<br>

Hello and greetings from Spain!
I was diagnosed when 2 years of age.
I am 31 years old, live an active life, graduated from college with honors, and have a boyfriend. There is life with CF, as you can see in this site - lots of adults! It's a day-to-day process and takes loads of time and effort, but you can make it!
Feel free to read my story in the link below if you're interested.
And never get discouraged!!
