Mrs Hinch has revealed baby son Vinnie was rushed to A&E, just weeks after she was also admitted to hospital with a blood clot in her leg weeks after giving birth.
The cleaning guru, 35, took to Instagram on Friday to share the health update after taking him back to see doctors due to her ‘unable to settle’ on their previous diagnoses that the two-month-old was suffering from colic and silent reflux.
Alongside a snap of Vinnie after retuning home, Mrs Hinch, aka Sophie Hinchcliffe, explained that the latest hospital visit had seen healthcare professionals discovering the tot was also suffering from Laryngomalacia.
Laryngomalacia is a common condition of infancy characterised by floppiness of the upper airway, leading to variable degrees of airway obstruction during inspiration, according to the NHS.
Sophie, who also shares sons Ronnie, five, and Lennie, three, with husband Jamie, admitted her ‘nerves were broken’ amid her family’s ongoing health woes before reassuring other concerned parent’s ‘never give up on your instinct’.
She penned: ‘Having stayed in hospital this last week with Vinnie I am SO grateful we are now back home. Vinnies “reflux” journey is something I’ve never experienced before and my gut couldn’t settle on “it’s just reflux this will pass”. I ended up taking Vinnie to A&E, and after further examinations yes Vinnie has reflux and CMPA but also Laryngomalacia’.

‘This is a common congenital condition, present at birth, where the soft tissues of the voice box collapse inward during feeding. To finally have answers and knowing as parents that we are not going crazy feels more settling yet nerve wracking’.
Sophie continued: ‘I feel relieved that we have been listened to and a care plan is in place for Vinnie, which avoids any potential surgery if all goes to plan. We just need to ensure Vinnie gains weight over the next month and go from there’.
‘One feed at a time (Don’t get me wrong… I know just how blessed we are as a family, but It really seems to be one thing after another knocking us down this last year, and my nerves feel broken to say the least) But we keep going, we all do, we have to, because things will surely start to look up again soon’
‘So Just a gentle reminder today …. Never give up on your instinct. You’re not silly, your gut knows. Have a beautiful Easter weekend everyone’
Before adding: ‘(Ps For those also facing any of these cases, Laryngomalacia especially, It would be so reassuring hearing your story, thank you) xx’.
Last month Mrs Hinch revealed Vinnie had been diagnosed with colic and silent reflux and admitted she has been ‘in the think of it’ and has ‘not stop pacing the floors’ with nerves and worry.
Meanwhile Colic is when a baby cries a lot but there’s no obvious cause. It’s a common problem that should get better by around 3 or 4 months of age, according to the NHS.
Reflux is when a baby brings up milk, or is sick, during or shortly after feeding. It’s very common and usually gets better on its own.

Previously revealing her own admission, Sophie took to her Instagram Stories last month after revealing doctors had found a blood clot on her leg.
Dressed in a hopsital gown as she broke the news and told the camera: ‘I’m not really sure where to start with this week guys.
‘I’ve actually bumped into quite a few followers in hospital. So I just thought I’d update you a bit because I share a lot with you here. The good, the bad and the ugly.
‘Anyway to cut a long story short, I had a blood clot in my groin, pelvis, leg area. I haven’t had one since 2018 and then another one decides to hit me three weeks postpartum. What a 12 months it’s been.’
She got emotional as she continued: ‘But I can only imagine what’s going on in this hospital above me, below me, and I’m just, I’m not moaning.
‘I’m just sort of updating because I bumped into some really lovely followers in A&E. They were helping me, they were like Soph what are you doing here?’
‘I was like girls I think I’ve got a blood clot in my leg. I was right. But keeping positive, the operation went well. They managed to go in through my leg. They didn’t go in through my neck in the end.

Sophie explained: ‘They hoovered out the blood clot, hoovered my stents out, they’ve literally hoovered me which is ironic isn’t it.
‘I think I’ve still got quite a lot of painkillers or anaesthetic in my system because I’m probably not making much sense but I’ve had a few messages saying Soph, why are you in the hospital?’
She reassured: ‘I just wanted to say I’m alright, all good. I can hopefully go home tomorrow. I can go home tomorrow, they’ve said I can and I cannot wait to smell my boys. Pick up Vinnie, that newborn smell.
‘Oh my God, I swear I’m getting withdrawal symptoms from him like, my boobs.’
