My almost 4 weeks old girl sometimes breathes very fast when she is sleeping/falling asleep and im concerned. Is this normal??? I'm just very worried all the time :(
Newborn don't have a regular steady respiratory rate, but the thing I would go and check on is the sucking in of the skin around her little neck. It can be a sign of respiratory distress
If you google signs of respiratory distress in newborns you'll see all of them. It includes their nose flaring, tracheal tug, head bobbing and sucking in around the ribs/diaphragm
Tinyhearts on IG have good examples of these on their page
I'd show my GP the video just to be safe.
I hope shes okay x
