Is there a name for this? When kids have been crying for a long time...?

Question

and they make that noise afterwards (breathing in) what would you call that?

Answer 1

Its possible that they are wheezing which is sometimes caused from asthma. If it keeps happening take them to their doctor immediatly.

Answer 2

At our house we call it the "heebie jeebies."  You know your child is upset if they cry like that!!

Answer 3

When a baby cries for a long time it could be Colic which is pretty much bad gas I think. The noise afterwards is probably just the baby getting out of breath from crying so much.

Answer 4

They are just trying to catch their breath. It's hyperventilating, but not the full blown thing. It's sad, isn't it? Especially with babies.

Answer 5

yeah what km said

Answer 6

Isn't that the saddest thing to see??!! I will never forget my newborn son being brought to me after he was circumcised........a newborn!!! I cried like a baby when I saw him doing that!

I have no idea what it is called but it sure is sad to see!

Answer 7

Hyperventilating?
