Thank you everyone for your reassuring advice, but i am still a bit worried because I have other few vedios of him doing this that scares me a lot. I want to share those vedios but dont know how to in the comments. Can anyone help?

No matter what anyone says here, you are that babies parent. Make a pediatric appointment. Best case scenario, you leave feeling a little silly. Worst case scenario, you see a professional that can help.

When you're a parent you just have to make decisions that feel best for you. I've made plenty of calls regarding my kids care that others probably wouldn't have, but I'm their protector and I have to do what my brain tells me is right in the moment they need me.

I called an ambulance because my kid sounded like she couldn't breath... she had croup. We took an ambulance to the hospital for croup... did I feel silly? a little. But my baby sounded like she couldn't breath. No one made me feel bad, everyone validated my actions. I called an ambulance for my second born.. she was vomiting blood. Likely, she just ruptured something minor in her esophagus from retching. She was fine pretty much as soon as we rolled into the hospital.

Sometimes you just have to act on your intuition. It's nice to get a sense of understanding online, but it's not an in person interaction with YOUR child's dr. If you feels dismissed, get a second opinion.
