Typical: This is common. As long as she doesn't turn blue (lips/fingers) while appearing to struggle to catch breath, then this is normal prequel to angry scream. Expect this display to repeat!

Baby turning red: Could be at the time you were changing her diaper she was valsalving , that is what we do when we bear down before having a bowel movement. Did she have a bowel movement soon afterward? or could have been trying to bear down or at times when babies initially try to verbalize ( and they do so much earlier then when they talk) they do stra n and turn red, it is alot of work to talk.

Red face: Infants have a limited number of ways to express rage, think of turning red, watery eyes and a bit of spit as the prelude to a prolonged shriek. Alarming to see, but usually returns quickly to normal. Think of being speechless with rage.
