How Do I Know If I Have It?

  1. Does your infant have prolonged pauses in breathing that last 20 seconds or longer?
  2. Does your infant have patterns of repeated pauses in breathing that last less than 20 seconds?
  3. Does your infant have related problems such as low oxygen or a slow heartbeat?
  4. Has your infant needed resuscitation or other urgent care?

If your answer to any of these questions is yes, then your child might have primary sleep apnea of infancy.
