Hello

This is usually a technique used to get attention. My daughter did the same thing. I took her to the doctor, and the doctor said that when she does this to walk away. Once she stopped breathing, as soon as she would pass out she would start breathing again. It only took a few times and the behavior stopped.

Worked like a charm.
