Oh good! Baby does it when she get's excited. It's a spasm in their trachea I believe. It's like they are trying to take in too much air at a time thru their nose is what it sounds like to me. What I do is try to calm her down and cover her nostrils with my fingers. This forces her to breath thru her mouth. Depending on how strong the spasms are is how long it will take for her to stop. You will notice that as soon as you cover her nostrils, she stops and starts to lick. But if she starts to breath thru her nose she'll start up again. Also, sometimes a treat gets them to stop b/c they are concentrating on the food and breathing thru their mouth. I know it's VERY scary! My mom still freaks out when her "grand baby" does this. She always yells at me...cover her nose! haha. I'm used to the reverse sneezing and it doesn't scare me anymore.
