My baby looks pale when she sleeps- don't want to google!

[RedRose]

My six week old baby tends to look pale while she's asleep.

Does anyone else notice their LO does the same thing?

I don't want to google as I'm sure it's nothing to worry about and I know I will end up scaring myself!

can't say I have noticed it... I think sometimes they go paler because they arent using engery iykwim?

Brian is quite olve sined so iv never realy notised.
Blood is pumped at a slower rate around the body while we are asleep so that might explain it.

Fynn did this all the time frightened the whatsits out of me as Sam didnt (its great having two to compare and contrast like that) I asked the HV and she said some babies breath a lot lighter while sleeping so the oxygen doenst get to the skin. Now he is bigger it doesnt happen so I guess like everything else they are getting used to living and it goes away with time xx

Nothing at all to worry about, it used to freak me out too but most of the time it just turned out to be the lighting he was in! My LO is naturally quite pale though so that probably doesn't help either!!

ralphy sometimes goes white as a sheet when he sleeps and his eyelids go quite pink, it seems to happen most when he goes into a really deep sleep. i've never worried about it at

My lo always goes more pale when she sleeps,when she was newborn i was constantly checking her but im used to it now,and when the weather was colder if we were out she used to go really pale and her eyelids went a pinky/purply colour.
