Baby suddenly becomes pale

Hi, DD is 10 weeks, and on several occasions I've noticed her losing all the colour in her face and hands. It happens suddenly and for a very short amount of time - from several seconds to couple of minutes. Today I was changing her and it happened in that moment, so I could see that the feet also lost all the colour. The skin and nails become like a rubber doll's skin, lifeless... Has anyone experienced this?

No never heard of this or experienced it. It sounds very worrying though. I'd want a gp appointment ASAP for that.

I'd deffo get this checked out. Maybe try and get a picture/video to show GP/Doctor. Does she get a temp too?

My DD is 3 months now, but when she was 7 weeks she became really poorly with an infection and one of the earlier signs was she went really pale and grey looking. But literally over the space of an evening we ended up going to hospital via an ambulance as her breathing suddenly became bad due to her trying to fight the infection. But if it happens on/off I'm not sure what it could be! But as I say, and the PP said, deffo worth getting checked!

This sounds worrying. I would get an urgent GP appt tomorrow and insist on a face to face review. Hopefully it is nothing but definitely needs to be checked out.
