My daughter is 5.5mo, she's absolutely fine and healthy, there's just this one thing that's niggling me and I thought I'd get opinions if it's normal and usual or something to worry about.
Very occasionally since she was born she's had difficulty taking a breath, tries a few times, goes red, panics, waves arms, eyes water, then manages to breathe in, and sometimes cries, but sometimes just carries on as before.
This was usually when she was feeding, and it's getting more frequent. Whereas it was, say, once a week, now it's a couple of times a day. We've started weaning her and she does it sometimes when eating, making me think she's choking, but I'm sure it isn't that. It may be that she's inhaling some saliva perhaps? It's like her airway is closed briefly.
Has anyone come across this? I'm hoping lots of people reply saying 'oh yes, my dd/ds did this, nothing to worry about'...
But then again, what if I ignore it and it's actually something serious and one day she really can't take a breath? Is it something to trouble the doctor with now?
