What to do when a one year old baby holds his breath when he cries

One-year-old babies who hold their breath when they cry may be suffering from breath-holding episodes, infantile asthma, etc. Parents need to hold their babies flat and stroke their backs with their palms, etc. to relieve them.
One year old babies and young children cry and hold their breath, often manifested in the beginning of the cry, outward exhalation deeper, longer, followed by deepening and accelerating breathing, and breathing temporarily stopped. In severe cases, there may be blue lips, and may even cause convulsions and other symptoms of cerebral hypoxia.
Provide a comfortable environment for your baby to minimize discomfort. When your baby cries and fusses, first try to calm him/her down as much as possible. Parents can use the baby usually like toys, like to listen to the sound to distract the baby’s attention, try to avoid the baby to cry to hyperventilation appeared, the baby’s crying to stop in an earlier state.
When the baby often appears to cry without holding his breath, parents should take the child to the regular hospital to see a pediatrician in a timely manner, by the doctor to make a diagnosis and treatment, so as not to delay the child’s condition.
