Baby keeps doing a gasp!?

My baby has started doing a new thing where he will gasp like he’s about to hold his breath?
He makes the sound effect as well!

Anyone else’s babies doing this?

Is it a laugh? My little girl does a little giggle that sounds like a gasp 😂😂 I know it’s a laugh as her eyes light up and it’s when we are playing.

Noo it’s just random’ he isn’t in any distress at all! Just a new sound that I’m not sure is normal 😂

My baby keeps doing this, i freaked when he first did it 😳😅! It comes and goes and he isn't in any distress either. Have spoken to GP a couple times. I think its to do with teething - it might be a build of saliva getting stuck in the throat that's causing the gasping and they're not quite there yet with coughing and clearing their airways yet

Ahh mine does this! more so when laying down me and my husband looked it up and apparently its normal i was prepared to call my gp and get her checked but shes fine now i feel more at ease x

Oh thank you both so much! I asked other mums today and they said their babies wasn’t doing it. So always makes you worry a little more!

Babies like to keep us on our toes haha!! Xx

They definitely do 🤣 xx

My little girl does this too! she started whilst we was away on holiday so I assumed it was a new noise due to the excitement of being in a new place & seeing new things but she’s still doing it now and we’ve been home from our holiday for two weeks! it does make me laugh!x

Leaky nappy help

What nappies are you using to stop leaks?? We use pampers ultra dry size 5, and for the past few nights he has lashed through and we’ve had to completely change him during the night. Last night he leashed through twice!! He sleeps on his front and stays leaks through at the top of his leg where the tabs connect. Didn’t know whether to size up, he has a bit of a belly on him but he’s smack in middle of weight guidance so shouldn’t need too

My little one is struggling with sleep

Hey! I'm in need of some advice please girls! My little boy is 20 months turns 21 months in 2 half weeks. He use to sleep through the night now he is waking up every single night in the early morning, I've had to transition him to a toodler bed as he kept climbing out his cot. Just need some advice on what I can do to help him get back in to a sleep pattern?

When do things get easier?

As we entered the 9-12 month stage, my son started crawling and pulling himself up. He also became more clingy and does not play alone, still doesnt sleep through the night, and this week has been sick (so EVERYTHING amplified). I am tired and overwhelmed. Please lie and tell me things get better. 🥺

6 month old autistism

My 6 month old makes no eye contact with me and doesn’t respond when I call him. Can this just be a phase or personality trait as apposed to autism

4 month bed time

What time do you put your babies to bed?
What time do you start your 'routine?'
My LO currently goes to bed around 10.30pm, and I know i need to start bringing it forward. Everytime ive tried, it takes longer for my LO to settle.
We are exclusively breastfeeding. Any advice Mamas?

5.30am wakeups 😫😴

My 15 week old has started waking up about 5.30am and is really hard to settle back down - it’s like he thinks it’s time to wake up for the day. He used to go to bed at 9pm and was up at 8am but now he goes to bed between 7.30-8pm as he’s knackered by then but waking up at 5.30am😴. Any advice to get him to sleep a little longer in the morning?! Even an extra hour would be lovely 🤣
