[|Human|] My baby is seven months old and was premature a month and a half early...He got angry when I layed him down to play started screaming turned purple so I picked him up and he got stiff and quiet with a purple color..... just for a few seconds and them was normal.....what was it?
[|AI|]  Hello, It is known as Breath holding spell. It is quite common in this age group. A baby tends to get angry and stops breathing for some time. It, in turn, causes cyanosis and bluish discoloration of hands and feet. In such a situation you must stimulate the baby by pinching and soft jerks, which will make him breathe again. It will improve with time when the baby is two years of age. Get a CBC with peripheral smear done to rule out anemia. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
