hi glitterstar

sats levels depends vary according to conditions as well e.g. if a child has a heart condition then it can be acceptable for them to have lowered sats levels of sometimes 85% or even lower...

bu as a whole if a child is fit and healthy its 92 but most docs prefer 95%.

but 92% is okay for your lil one. at night, there is less oxygen in the air, so everyone's oxygen level will go dwn a tiny bit, but apparently not enough to cause problems. so please dont be alarmed.

concentrate on your boy's breathin and other symptoms and go by maternal instinct

he will be fine

good luck
