Is it normal for newborns to forget how to breathe or look like they’re having trouble breathing?
It freaks me out.
Also, correct me if I’m wrong, but I think newborns only try to breathe out of their nose and don’t realize they can breathe through their mouth, so if their nose is blocked, that could be another reason. Our baby got a cold at 2 weeks, and his nose was stuffed and we noticed he was trying so hard to breathe through his nose no matter how stuffed it was
@abigaill your welcome mama😌❤
Not sure how often you're doing it, but I suggest doing more skin to skin with the baby. It helps them to regulate their breathing, as well as stabilize heart rate, stress levels, temperature, and blood sugar.
@lunachar62, me too. I wAs thinking the same thing. We learn something new everyday
@abigaill sorry for what i told you when i saw the having trouble breathing i got scared
@babymay2016, I freaked out. It was scary because I didn’t know. But thank you guys for helping me out @babyttsmommy
He gets hiccups a lot too. Everything’s just so scary lol
@lunachar62 not everyone knows the same stuff, thats why im on this app, to educate myself & others❤ we learn something new everyday😍
My son did this a lot when he was tiny... And it freaked me out so much I swear I never ever slept. It is normal though but very nervewracking.
@abigaill theres articles you can read about breath-holding spells in babies & children, its common & natural, should outgrow that by the time they turn 5 or 6 if not younger❤
@babyttsmommy, thank you for easing my nerves. It’s scary for a ftm not knowing some things.
@lunachar62, it just barely happened while he was sleeping.
@lunachar62 dont make her freak out mama, its natural for babies to do this ❤
@abigaill yes😣 my son has been doing that since the day he was born, thats why they kept him in the NICU for longer😫 but hes been home from the NICU for almost 10 months now & hes 11 months old, still freaking holding his breath!! He does it everyday all throughout the day, even when hes awake😶

So I had my baby at 12:46am but I’m asking for prayers or any good vibes sent my baby & my way. I had to have an emergency csection (never had one before either so still freaking out that I had one) because my placenta abrupted & now they transferred my baby to another hospital to give him care that this hospital doesn’t provide since he can not breathe on his own and he is going to be getting blood transfusions as well & they are saying it can go either way for my baby and I’m literally heartbr...

!!!!LABOR STORY!!!!
Saturday at 1AM, lost my mucus plug/bloody show, and I was freaking out! A couple of hours later I had cramping, but felt like BH just a little stronger. They came and went, but felt stronger with each hour. Didn't sleep that whole night! I called the midwife at my hospital and told her I lost it and was having really bad cramping and she told me I was fine and was prob just having BH contractions.
The next day I was having what I thought were strong BH contractions every 10-...

My world stopped
I was changing the laundry over and my husband went to use the restroom. Our 20 month was in the room with our 10 year old and climbed up on the bed and fell, face first, landing on her head. Our bed is three feet off the ground and our son said she was standing up, so roughly a five foot fall. I ran into the room and she was unresponsive. She didn't take her first breath for 45 seconds. Her eyes were rolled in the back of her head and her entire body was limp. I lost it. I was...
@suz., his nose looks clear but I’ll check. Thanks!
