Any mom's whose LO's have asthma?

My LO was at the dr again today with wheezing.  This is the 2nd time in a month.  We took her for an ear infection but heard wheezing when they listened to her chest.  As of right now they aren't diagnosing her officially w/ asthma although she's on Albuterol.  They said if she continues to wheeze then they will diagnose her with it. We go back next week.  Anyone else have young LO's w/ asthma? Any recommendations?

Thanks!

We were just at the dr today for the 3rd time this week and LO was having some wheezing. The pedi said they would never diagnose asthma this young. He said you can't be positive until they're older. Her brother is 19 mon and they won't even say for sure he has it at this point.

My son is 3 and he was just diagnosed with asthma after having several attacks over the last 3 years. The fall/winter is always a dreadful time for him.  Honestly, the only thing that works is Pulmicort twice a day during this time of year. We use albuterol for rescue or if the Pulmicort isn't knocking it out.

They shouldn't diagnose asthma this young as small children can grow out of it.
