A member asked:
My 2 month baby cries with excessive rage and when he stops he gaps while breathing even when he falls asleep for a while. is this normal or harmful?

Mgt/workup: Please observe her carefully for any changes in lip or skin color. Babies sometimes will gasp after a brief pause, and their respiratory pattern is developing. If the pause is longer than 10 seconds, I would recommend a test called an apnea test. If you upload the sound, and would like to schedule a consult an appointment can be made.
