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
