[QUOTE="mstang67chic, post: 291982, member: 2459"] That has to be terrifying for both baby James and his mother. I don't have any experience with this as a parent but I will say this. When I was small (maybe 3ish?) I would do this [U]voluntarily[/U] and there were a few times that I DID pass out. My poor mom, of course, was in a panic about it and talked to my doctor at the time. The doctor...wonderful old country doctor....reassured her that as long as I started breathing after I passed out, I would be fine. (In my case, he also told her to stick me in the shower when I held my breath and turn the cold water on me to shock me into breathing. Like I said though, this was something I did voluntarily so I really doubt that would work for her.) I'm wondering if some part of his bronchial areas or throat are having some sort of spasm when he's that tense or worked up and just "freezing". I would think it would be difficult to reassure someone that young but I agree with Fran. Try to soothe him, talk calmly and try to get him to relax. [/QUOTE]
