A member asked:
My baby is 5 months old and 8 days. as if yesterday she at random will almost be taking in extra air at the end of her breathing cycle, making a gasping sound. it has happened more than 10 times since yesterday hence i'm concerned?

Could be a problem: Changes in breathing for a 5 month old can indicate that there is a problem. See a Dr if the problem persists for 3 days or longer. See a Dr if the gasping sound is accompanied by rapid breathing, coughing, wheezing, face/lips turning blue, flared nostrils, or neck sinking in with inhale.
