My son still has episodes where he stops breathing for about 5 seconds at time while sleeping , before taking a deep breath and continuing in a more regular pattern. He had an episode last night and instead of waiting for him to regulate I jiggled his tummy to get him back on track as I was so freaked out by it.
I'm in a panic this morning as I'm not sure that this is normal for a baby of his age. I don't know if I should get him checked out or even buy a sleep monitor , which I've avoided as I don't want to increase my anxiety.
He has no existing conditions and I have two older children.
Also , I'm having a difficult month as it was two years ago to the day that dh and I lost a tiny baby girl shortly after bad news at the anomaly scan. I wanted to say as I'm aware that this makes the worrying about my son more prominent.
