@littleonesworldwide: BREATH HOLDING SPELL (or “attacks”) is common in children aged 6 months to six years. When you child holds their breath, it is often called a spell. ✨Breath-holding spell may happen after a child becomes upset or injures themselves for example after a minor bump or fright. ✨The reaction is caused by either a change in the child’s usual breathing pattern, a brief slowing of their heart rate or a combination of the two. ✨Observe the child during the spell and keep their head, arms and legs away from hitting anything hard or sharp. ✨After a spell, your child may recover quickly or be drowsy and sleep for a short while. Some children may have muscle twitching or a fit after a prolonged attack. Although this is scary to watch, no special treatment is needed.
