Morning ladies my baby is having what looks like chest retractions.... it’s like he’s breathing hard and it’s off and on only when he’s sleeping is this normal??!! I have been to the doctor last Friday and Monday and I brought it up and he didn’t seem concerned but I am terrified
@briatta, don’t worry I still get up and check to see is my 14 month old is still breathing at night, probably gonna be the same way with the new baby.
@jleona, thank you I’ve been so worried.... I thought carrying him was tough no it’s when he’s here that’s tough I worry so much
Definitely normal. My pediatrician even told me that in some cases she might stop breathing for a few seconds. He's just getting use to Earths air and it takes a few weeks for their bodies to adjust.
I’m fairly certain it’s normal mama! If you’re concerned, give his pediatrician a call and speak to them or their nurse.
My son did that also it wears off as the weeks go by he just stopped and he’s 4 months ❤️
