Mrs Hinchhas 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 andsilent reflux.
Alongside a snap of Vinnie after returning home, Mrs Hinch, aka Sophie Hinchcliffe, explained that the latest hospital visit had seen healthcare professionals discovering the tot was also suffering fromLaryngomalacia.
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 instincts'.
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 ofthe voicebox 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 beautifulEaster 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.'
In September 2024, Sophie sobbed in an emotional social media video as she appealed to her fanbase for support during her ongoing battle with grief after losing her father.
She said: 'When you’ve been through something like this, it’s a bit like an out of body experience.
'The world looks different, feels different, smells different, just everything is different,' she said in her stories in August.
Sophie announced her father's death on Instagram in May, writing that he 'passed suddenly but so peacefully whilst he slept.
'My life, our whole world, has been turned upside down. A deep unimaginable pain I cannot put into words.'

As a child she would watch New Yankees Workshop with her father and the pair would dream of having a similar workshop themselves.
Then, when the family moved in 2021, Sophie surprised him with his own dedicated space and tools after he retired - something he had wanted 'since he was a little boy'.
Describing the workshop as the 'most emotional part of the house', Alan created his own workshop bench and stool and the pair pinned up a whiteboard to write out their upcoming projects.
Sophie ordered all her dads favourite tools for the workshop and shared her excitement to upcycle as much as she could alongside her father.
In 2023 son Ronnie was rushed to hospital and was later diagnosed with Kawasaki disease, at the time the influencer and husband Jamie were left terrified as Ronnie's temperature soared to over 40C before being admitted.
Kawasaki disease causes the blood vessels to become inflamed and swollen, which can lead to complications in the blood vessels that supply blood to the heart (coronary arteries).

WHAT IS KAWASAKI DISEASE?
KAWASAKI DISEASE
Kawasaki disease is a condition that causes inflammation in the walls of the blood vessels and affects mostly children under five years old.
The inflammation can weaken the coronary arteries, which supply the heart with blood. This can lead to aneurysms and heart attacks.
The condition affects eight children out of every 100,000 and statistics show it is fatal in three per cent of cases that go untreated.
WHAT SYMPTOMS DOES IT CAUSE?
The symptoms of Kawasaki disease usually develop in three phases over a six-week period, according to advice on the NHS' website.
The first signs are a fever and a rash in the first few weeks, followed by the eyes of children becoming red and swollen.
It can also cause the lips to dry up and crack, a sore throat, swollen lymph glands and the tongue to become red, the NHS warns.
The second phase of Kawasaki disease often causes symptoms such as abdominal pain, vomiting, diarrhoea, headaches, joint pain and jaundice.
In the third phase, symptoms tend to disappear but children 'may still have a lack of energy and become easily tired during this time'.

Without treatment, around one in four children with Kawasaki disease get heart complications. This can be fatal in about 2 to 3% of cases, according to the NHS.
In an update this week she revealed doctors caught the disease just in time, meaning Ronnie won't experience heart complications.
She shared a sweet snap of Ronnie and Lennie holding up a sign that read: 'Time to catch our flight' and 'Goodbye everyone'.
She penned: 'And we’re off. We have had the most amazing results from Ronnie's most recent heart scan guys … they are all clear.
'The Kawasaki disease was caught and treated quick enough meaning Ron’s heart has NOT been effected by the disease.'
She continued: 'He will continue to be monitored for a while but the relief is a feeling I can’t even describe right now.
'We actually held off telling the boys or packing cases because we were ready to cancel in all honesty. But doctors orders. go and have fun in the sun he said. Enjoy and make the BEST family memories.
'So we told the boys this morning and they’re so excited to head to the airport I can’t believe it and feeling so thankful. See you soon everyone, I’ll catch up with you all once we are there!
'Have a wonderful week. Xxx (Ps The House, Fur, Floofs and feathers will be left in very safe hands don’t worry).'
What is Laryngomalacia?
Laryngomalacia is when the soft, immature cartilage of the upper larynx collapses inward during inhalation, causing airway obstruction.
Laryngomalacia is the most common cause of noisy breathing in infants. More than half of infants have noisy breathing during the first week of life, and most develop this by 2-4 weeks of age.
What are the signs?
1 - Harsh noisy breathing on inspiration (noisy breathing/stridor)
2 - Stridor may be louder with exertion, feeding and crying. It may also be worse when lying on the back. It may be quieter when sleeping or resting quietly
3 - Stridor will typically get louder over the first several months of life, as an infant gets stronger, then to improve over the first year of life
4 - Signs of more severe laryngomalacia include difficulty feeding, increased effort in breathing, poor weight gain, pauses in the breathing, or frequent spitting up
