HI...by what you quote I fell that your baby might be having a rhythm disturbance on the heart. This is not very common. This can be a congenital defect or some drugs can cause this. Apart from this certain viral illnesses also can cause this. I suggest you consult a pediatric cardiologist and get an ECG and Echocardiography done and proceed further.
