POOJA KOTHARIExpecting Mom due in 1 month3 months agoA. Breath-holding spells while crying, where a baby turns blue and briefly stops breathing, are usually harmless but can be very alarming. This typically happens when a baby cries hard, holds their breath, and may even briefly lose consciousness due to a drop in oxygen. It’s a reflex, not intentional, and often occurs in babies between 6 months to 2 years. If your baby turned blue, it was likely a cyanotic breath-holding spell. Although not dangerous in most cases, you should still inform your pediatrician to rule out any underlying issues like anemia or heart conditions. Stay calm during episodes and avoid reinforcing the behavior with extra attention.
