  The inadequate regulation function of the respiratory center in newborns can also cause irregular respiratory rhythms, especially during sleep, where the baby's breathing is sometimes fast, sometimes slow, and even pauses. It can be seen that shallow breathing, sometimes fast and sometimes slow, in newborns is a normal physiological phenomenon. As long as the child's skin color is rosy and not bluish purple or bluish gray, there is no need to panic.

  When parents notice that their baby's consciousness is gradually disappearing, they must maintain a clear mind and, if conditions permit, immediately seek help from those around them or call emergency number 120, and then use cardiopulmonary resuscitation to provide first aid to the baby.

  Counting the baby's breathing should be done more accurately when the baby is quiet. Otherwise, with the baby's crying, it is easy to cause an increase in respiratory rate, and the data obtained in this state is not accurate enough. Usually, from the baby's breathing condition, we can roughly analyze whether their body is abnormal or infected. The immune system of newborns is in the developmental stage, so during this period, they are easily infected with bacteria, causing discomfort, especially from upper respiratory tract infections, which can also affect the lower respiratory tract, leading to the commonly mentioned bronchopneumonia.
