Breath holding spells

Since my baby was 2 months old she has been having these breath holding spells if she gets too frustrated. She’ll make a crying face and turn red but nothing sound will come out. Today it happened for longer. Has this happened with any of your babies?

Hi yes my baby has also done this

Hey Yes I remember constantly looking it up even after finding out it was normal. It's not intentionally done but can be scary actually. If it goes on for too long,can try turning baby to his/ her side

We used to blow on her face and that would help

Same as ubove blow on their face, it kinda jolts them in to breathing again x

Yes, ours used to have them when he was very distressed

Did you guys ever talk to your pediatrician about it? I usually blow on here face, move her around and have even put ice on her and sometimes she won’t snap out of it 😭

@Betsy we did. We were told to blow in his face which did stop it for us. We were told if that didn’t stop it/he continued to have them it would need looked into further.

😩 okay thank you girl 🫶 I think I am going to bring it up because it happens at least once a week 🥺

@Betsy definitely worth bringing up!
