Noticed the other day that my 2 and a half year old,who was breathing really quietly for a change,stopped breathing when he was sleeping for about 10 seconds..he was fine in himself.
Just wondered if anyone has noticed this,is it something I should be concerned about?xx

Hi,
I would think it is pretty normal. We all do this. I know Martha does.
A sleep apenoa (when you stop breathing while asleep) normally lasts more than 20 secs to be classed as an apenoa. the babies (neonates) where i work have apenoa alarms on and they are always set for 20 secs.
If you are worried i would talk with your GP or asthma nurse.
Hope that helps.
Hows harvey otherwise?
