Daughter suffered breathing problem

2024-10-03 07:57:51
Hi my 2 month old daughter was crying yesterday afternoon she suddenly stop crying and gasping for air. She passed out for 10-12 second and after patting on her back she started crying again and went to normal. Visited doctor in the evening he prescribed some medicines for cold and cough and diagnosed some  cough also mentioned this can happened due to iron deficiency. Is this normal for baby to gasping suddenly for air while crying ? Because it happened to her first time since birth.

It may be due to iron deficiancy or cardiac disease. If doctor has ruled out cardiac then it is due to iron deficiency

Your order of complaints suggest breath holding spells. But at such an early age it's not so common. May be because of nose block during crying this event happened. More can be elicited by physical examination only. Have follow up with your Pediatrician.

The history u have given is more likely suggest of breath holding spells .. Common in 6 months up to 2 yrs.. But in some cases it can start from 2 months also.. It’s not worrisome.. when baby is hungry.. crying .. or any pain then baby can hold the breath.. Iron supplemention is useful..
