A. this is common at this age. such type of habits and behaviour usually improve with increasing age of the child and does not require any type of intervention. you can divert the child to prevent the habit / behaviour. this is totally fine and notd to be worried about. take care.

A. That’s not good sometimes it could be due to adenoid had a I’m not very certain but there can be a possibility so I am just going to suggest that you should consult an ENT doctor once regarding the situation situation I wish there is no problem but it’s better to be sure about it

Q. My baby is 1 year old now. He is occasionally holding breath while crying. Sometimes he wakes up in the middle of sleep - starts crying and then holds breath. Other times, when he is hurt or we don’t do something as per his wish. He doesn’t take his eyes up or anything else, just holds the breath. Is it concerning and what should we do?
