When you blow on a baby, they may gasp because it triggers a reflex called the "mammalian diving reflex." This reflex helps babies regulate their breathing and heart rate when faced with sudden changes in temperature or pressure.

Babies often startle and breathe in suddenly when you blow on their face due to a reflex known as the "moro reflex," which is a natural response to sudden stimuli. This reflex helps them react to perceived threats and is a part of their developing nervous system. The sudden sensation of air on their face can trigger an instinctive reaction, causing them to gasp or inhale sharply. Additionally, this response helps them learn to adapt to their environment and develop their sensory awareness.

We gasp when we have difficulty breathing. We also gasp in reaction to emotional events, such as surprise, shock or disgust. In these cases it is an involuntary reaction.

Yes the word gasp can be a noun. It can also be a verb.
Gasp as in the action "to gasp" is a verb. Gasp as in the description "a large intake of breath" is a noun. A verb is a word that describes either an action (walk, run, etc), an occurrence (become, happen, etc) or state of being (stand, exist, etc).
It is a ticklish sensation that makes them laugh!
