Dr. Amrita Dosanjh answered

Specializes in Pediatric Allergy and Asthma

M.D. follow up: Babies breathe a a more rapid rate than older children and adults. I would recommend observing her for any changes in the color of her skin, lips or nails. Sometimes babies startle and this is normal. I would let your pediatrician know as well. Virtual appts are also available.
