What Causes Breathlessness With Arms And Legs Flaying?

Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ? Please type your query here...My grandson in not quite 3 months old but occasionally he will awake from sleeping and he acts like he is gasping for breath. He even flares his arms and legs like he can t breath. Once we pick him up and calm him within about two to three seconds he starts breathing again. What could cause this?
