What May Be The Cause Of Laboured Breathing An Infant?
Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ? Please type your query here... My nephew is 7 weeks old. Since I ve know him since he was 2 weeks old, he seems to have labored quick breathing when he is awake. He seems agatated while he s awake and always moving his arms and legs. When he is asleep, he seems to breathe normally and very quiet. He also spits up a lot as well.

Hello,
If in sleeping the baby is breathing normally, then how is it possible that there is any problem when he is awake, do not get over conscious.
The baby moves legs and arms in a cyclic manner, and it is a sign of good health. The labored breath will cause labored breath, even in sleep. So, do not worry, it seems normal.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
