Suggest Treatment For Unable To Breath While Crying In Babies
Hi,
Challenge1:
My baby is 9 months old, he use to at times go breathless when he crys for long time, we have to kind of pinch him or splash water on him to come out of the still mode(breathless). In the last 10 days it has become very frequent and his lips turn purple or black, Locally doctor say it is because of his high pitch of crying and to divert his attention, As it is happening very often, I was wonder is there a any other alternative to prevent him from getting into this state. Though we try well best not allowing him to get it to this state, He is often getting crancy.
Challege2:
Another challenge we are having with him: In the last 45 days, he is not sleeping well in night, he starts walking on his four legs in the sleep and keeps crying. We tried feeding him in the night, etc., etc., but is not working.
Please suggest some solution for the same.
Regards,
Sathya
