Yes. All 3 of my kids just had croup. My 2 year old had stridor pretty bad and my eight month old was starting to get it but since I knew exactly what it was and what to look for we caught it early and got her on medication.

Isnt stridor something a baby is born with? Its an extra flap on the larynx, not a disease. Or am I mistaken?
My nephew was born with it and had to be in an incubator for a period of time after he was born.

Stridor isn't the extra flap, the extra flap is causing the stridor. Stridor is a type of wheeze that's caused by and obstructed or narrowed airway. There are different causes.

Yes, my DS has stridor. He was diagnosed with Laryngomalacia, and tracheomalacia. Essentially his airway is narrow and floppy. He is 3 and it hasn't really caused any major issues, however he has been pretty lucky in that he hasn't had any major respiratory illnesses either.
