My son is 6 months old and I am sleep training him in his crib. Tonight he had a hard time and cried for about 15 mins. I was able to soothe him to sleep but he fell asleep with the gasping for air sound every few seconds. It s been about an hour now and he s still doing it. Should I be worried?
As this is for the first time the child is getting away from his mother, he must be getting upset. Staying away from mother is a scary thing at this age, as she is the life support. You can try speaking to the child and letting him know that you are there only on a separate bed by his side and not leaving him. Do it repeatedly in a soothing manner. In a few days he shall be fine. There does not seem to be need to worry.
