Has your baby ever been in such a deep sleep that they were limp and it seemed like they weren't breathing?
Is this normal? Could it be sleep apnea? I'm not letting her sleep with us anymore because i'm too scared but I don't know if I should make a doctor's appointment.
Answers:
It happens but I would make the apointment any way to hav eher checked.It's most likely just deep sleep. ours never did this but I know of other parents whose children did
I'd make an appointment. I mean, babies do sleep INCREDIBLY sound, and you can move them, dress them, shake them (i dont mean like shaken baby syndrom, just like you might shake a person awake, not under the arms and back and forth. More like wiggling or poking them so they move back and forth or something).
Some of the signs of SBS is delayed responce, sleep apnea, breathing problems, and inability to focus their eyes (babies over 3 months) and follow your hand back and forth. Also, it can take days and weeks for these signs to show up in an infant.
Its possible that she's just a deep sleeper, or it could be that she was shaken in her past and the efects are just now setting in.
I'd have her checked out either way just so you can sleep better at night.
it is possible that your child is getting the starting case of "sleep apnea" this is unfortunate but you may have caught it quick enough that there may be a simple surgical procedure to correct / eliminate it if you wish your child to sleep elsewhere use a monitor on their breathing so that if they do have labored breath you can catch it quickly
