My husband was watching our newborn and she was just laying there sleeping when he noticed she started flailing and started turning beat red because she couldn't breath in. Then she started crying but it still took her a bit to inhale. She's been fine since but we are worried...
Has this happened to you? Is it normal? What can we do?
Thanks ladies

Are you sure she wasn't just pooping? My LO turns red and goes nuts when she's about to poop.

I would definitely call the pediatrician, if it happens again though I would first rub her feet and then pick her up and take her outside. Obviously is she is struggling after even 20 seconds I would call 911 though, that sounds really scary. Best wishes!

I would call the pediatrician. We actually called 911 one night because of something like this. While we were waiting for the EMTs to arrive, the dispatcher said to tap her foot every time she had a hard time breathing. I have no clue why, but it worked like a charm.

@aMohror: did you call the ped?
Hope there hasn't been a recurrence since!
