What Causes The Baby Go Limp When Exposed To Wind?

Hi, I have a 7 week old baby girl, she is healthy so far as all the screening tests. I noticed today that when she gets a wind she closes her eyes and becomes 'limp', it is very hard to wake her up and today i placed her into a bath to 'wake her up' as i was concerned as her breathing was very shallow and her heart racing. I tried to place a dummy into her mouth but her tongue was 'stuck' to the roof of her mouth. Is this anything to worry about? What should I ask my doctor to check? Sometimes at night its hard to see if she is breathing because she is so still and her breathing so shallow.

Hi
Welcome to Healthcare-Magic
Greetings of the day
Its not advisable to stimulate by placing in bath.
Its normal for children to have their own brething rhythm and the chest movements are less while sleeping.
Just flicking the sole of feet with fingers is sufficient stimulus.

Take Care

Best Regards
