Patient's question:
My baby is now 23 days old. Recently, she often suddenly breathes rapidly while sleeping well, with her eyes open and her two small hands reaching forward, her head slightly lifted. After about 10 seconds, she starts crying, and she must be held and comforted to fall back asleep. Could this be a medical issue? I'm really worried.Doctor's answer:
Hello. A baby's every breath also tenses the parent's nerves. Especially when sleeping, rapid breathing is truly concerning. Worried that the baby might not be able to breathe properly at any moment. Thinking about it, it's quite frightening. I wonder if your little one has ever experienced rapid breathing issues? It's like an adult after running, their breathing becomes rapid and loud, wheezing and wheezing. As a mom, your heart also feels like it's wheezing and wheezing.
