Newborns do what's called periodic breathing: They breathe progressively more quickly and deeply, then more slowly and shallowly, then pause for up to 15 seconds, and then start up again with progressively deeper breaths. This is normal and will evolve into a more mature pattern of breathing, with occasional sighs, in the first few months of life.
If you suspect that your baby has stopped breathing or simply want to reassure yourself, touch or rouse him a bit to see whether he responds. If he doesn't, he may be experiencing something called apnea, and you should call 911 or your local emergency number right away.
If this happens and you know how to administer infant CPR, you should begin emergency treatment right away and have someone else call for emergency help. If you're alone with your baby, administer CPR for two minutes, then call for help, then resume CPR until help arrives or your baby starts breathing again.
It's not unusual for a baby's hands, feet, and skin around his mouth to be bluish. But if his forehead or the trunk of his body turns blue, it's another sign that he may be in danger.
In most cases, babies' irregular breathing habits are nothing to worry about. But babies who have had more than one apparent life-threatening event (ALTE) are at increased risk for long-term complications or sudden unexpected death. An ALTE is an episode in which a baby stops breathing. He may also become limp, turn blue, and choke or gag.

Go get your friends to kick you in the balls for 10 minutes, then have then kick your *** for 15 to 20 minutes. Then have them call 911 to get the police to come arrest you for murder and neglecting your baby.

if this could be a shaggy dog tale, it isnt humorous in any respect! I lost my son 3 years in the past. would you desire somebody to attend 15-20 minutes when you stopped respiratory to call 911? i think of no longer!

You know, with all the cases of babies being abused, killed, kidnapped, and neglected that have been surfacing in the news lately, I really don't find this comment the least bit amusing. Some people really have a sick sense of humor, and its obvious that whoever posted this is just looking for attention. Why I responded I don't know, but I just couldn't leave something as irresponsible and ignorant as this unanswered.

I hope you're joking. You call right away. Waiting is irresponsible and you should be attempting cpr instead of asking questions here.

funny **** there. I think it is 30 minutes...during this time period you are supposed to tie a rope around your neck, connect it to a ceiling beam (while standing on a chair) and jump off the chair quickly...
