Hi mummies. please help!!! From day 1 ds hated nappy changes & would cry & scream each & everytime, this turned into serious crying where he even held his breath at which point I would panic & pick him up, calm him down then carry on. He stopped this at 2 weeks but still does it when it's time to get dressed after a bath. When he holds his breath, I pick him up &calm him down because I can't bear to see him holding his breath. Today, he is crying & holding his breath for every reason!! Nappy change, when I put him down for his nap, even in the car seat which he usually loves & falls fast asleep in!! AND if i take a little too long to stick my breat in his mouth!!! Is it bad when they hold their breath? Does he know at this age that if he does it I'll cuddle him & calm him down?? I'm at the end of my tether & am having visions of taking him to the supermarket & leaving him there!!
