Newborn pausing when breathing

[Newmum23x]

I have a 10 week old baby and I keep noticing that when he is asleep or restless he will hold his breath for a little bit, go red and then gasp to catch his breath. It is driving my anxiety through the roof. Is this normal has anyone else experienced this or should I contact GP?
Thank you :-)

Sorry no experience of this but didn’t want to read and run. If you’re concerned about his breathing then please get it checked. Even if it turns out to be nothing, the doctors/ hospital would rather check anyway.
If you’re unsure this evening then you could phone 111 and explain what’s happening and see what they say.
