It’s a reflex action, it’s not dangerous, just the opposite, it keeps them from breathing if they get dunked under water. It is one of the reflexes that doctors check to monitor a child’s development. You can also trigger the same reflex by brushing the face with a tissue.

But it is not something that you should be doing for entertainment purposes.
