My daughter is 21 months old.When she gets upset and starts crying she looses her breath.She crys so hard her lips turn blue and her face turns real red.I blow in her face but sometimes it takes 3 or times before it helps.I was wondering if there is something else i can do?
Hi.by what you quote I feel that your kid is having a breath holding spell. The best way is to break the spell. You can achieve this by pinching the kid so that it, the pinching will cause the baby to cry and to cry the baby has to take a breath first and so the breath holding spell will be broken. But to prevent the spell, you need to be clear in not bending to all the whims and fancies of the kid because, kids usually develop this sort of tendency when they are adamant and the adults start accepting their requests when they cry inconsolably. This sort of behavior might in future lead on to adamant. So please curtail it now itself. Regards -
