Baby gasping in sleep

Hi all, I have a video but not sure if it's uploaded right. My 10 month old occasionally gasps in his sleep over and over for a minute or so. Short little gasps with no breaths in between. Took him to the doc today and showed her the video and she listened to his chest and looked in his mouth...all good, wasnt sure why he does it. He's done it from birth, maybe once a weekish. Has anyone else experienced this? Video

My dd still does this at 3 years old. She often does it in her sleep but also does it after shes been crying. I've never spoken to my GP about it and used assumed she was dreaming.

I took my DD (9mo) to the doctor for something similar this week. She doesn't gasp as such but she pauses and then kind of has to catch her breath. I've asked for ENT referral as I think it's sleep apnea related. We've had other sleep/feeding issues as well as a late tongue tie cut.
Worth looking at any other issues your child might have that could suggest it's linked to something else? If they're all well and healthy in other areas then might not be anything to worry about.

This sounds a lot like the noise my friends 7mo sometimes makes when he’s sleeping and he has recently been diagnosed with laryngomalacia (floppy larynx) so may be worth looking into that?
