Bottle & Breastfeeding: Preschooler, Albuterol

Preemie with Constant Breathing Problems

My son, 8 months next week, has been sick non-stop since November. We've done the albuterol in the nebulizer since he's been 3-4 months (starting & stopping when the doctor tells us, of course). He was born over 7 weeks early, so I'm wondering if that has something to do with it. The doctor is worried that he may have asthma or allergies, but they can't diagnose or test for it until he's 2. We just started him on an inhaled steroid, Pulmacort, which we will continue with "indefinitely". He's just had 3 treatments of that, but I can't tell...
