Holding breath when crying
Has anyone else’s baby cried so hard they stop breathing for a moment? My little girl has done it a few times now when she’s been screaming crying and it’s horrible. She stops breathing for a few seconds but it feels like forever 😫 If she does it I blow in her face which seems to make her snap out of it and try to stay calm but it’s really traumatic when it happens

@Grace thank you, it’s horrible isn’t it! She’s got her first doctors appointment next week so will mention it to them then x
My little boy who is now three did this all the time from being a baby and unfortunately it is something that he does now. I was told by the health visitor at the time to gently blow in their face and this will relieve them and get them to take a breathe.

My eldest used to do this. She’s 2.5 now and hasn’t done it for a while but it’s awful so I understand your worry! The doctors said as long as it’s not longer than a minute then it’s fine but I would give them a call just so it’s on her record in case it did ever get worse xx
