What is Infant Apnea?
Newborn babies go through many changes in the first few weeks of life, including significant brain development. Some babies, especially those born premature, may need special care while the part of the brain that controls breathing continues to grow. These infants could suffer from a condition known as infant apnea. All infants have some apnea, but when the apnea is long or if it happens frequently, there may be a problem.
