Please help baby stopped breathing UPDATE cry
Hi, think im gonna be sick.
Baby 6 months was asleep upstairs and thankfully ive got one of those moniters that beeps when there is no movement, anyway it just went off and when i got upstairs he wasnt breathing, picked him up and he gasped coughed and has gone back to sleep, and seems fine now.
Do babys do this or shd i get doc appointment
xxDBxx
HI all and thanks for your replies they mean a lot
Well went to doc, it happened again and baby has been taken into hospital, but I cant stay with him as my DS is teething and screaming for me so ive had to come home, now feel sick with worry but know he is in the best place. will keep you updated thanks for your support girls i dont know what id do with out you xxDBxx
Chuffedbaby2 I only got one as lo wld never sleep on his back and it worried me putting him to sleep on his front so i thought id worry less if i had one, now i am so grateful, I know he might have started breathing on his own but it cld have just saved his life.

how about calling nhs direct - a quick way of getting some advice and hopefully some reasurrance, or how about your hv?
how scary though, I suggest you sit down with a sugary cup of tea or coffee to help get over the shock.
well done for reacting so quickly and making sure your lo was breathing again.

Thank god you had the monitor!!!
Hope everything goes well at the docs x x x x x x
How scary for you, hope he is ok and it was a one off xxx
My mum says I did this when I was a baby. She said she just got a feeling that something wasnt right, came up to check me and I wasnt breathing either but she picked me up and screamed for dad and this brought me round. Also heard a story about my nan shaking my uncle out the window (!) because he wasnt breathing which also bought him round - obviously not suggesting you do either of these things but I think its more common than we might realise so hope this puts your mind at rest a bit.
Again, hope alls gone well at the drs.

hope all went well at the docs

My little one has done this a couple of times and has been undergoing tests now for months. Best to get it checked out. My lo seems to be growing out of it but some bubbas have sleep apnea.
Good luck but don't fret too much. You have the best thing which is the monitor. If it happens again or the length of time bubba is not breathing for is longer just ring an ambulance. That is what the hospital told us. Bet your lo is like mine and comes round looking none the wiser!
Good luck hun.
i hope ure ok hunny and got on ok at the docs....im going to look at getting one of these now ...ill show oh this post 1st to make him see there worth the money
big hugs (((()))) xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Hope LO is OK when they see the doc.
Have just read your update...... Im so sorry you had to leave LO in the hospital, but as you say it is the best place for them to be at the mo. Hope you get some answers soon.
Big hug from me and Zacky.
