Infant Apnea

  : My 2 month old daughter full term has had apnea since birth. The doctors keep telling us that her lungs are immature and she will grow out of it. Her condition does not seem to be improving. Now her pediatrician says it could be reflux. I have looked for information but everything seems to be geared to adults. Where can I find detailed information on the internet or in print on infant apnea? Even though the doctors have run a battery of tests could it be a problem that has been misdiagnosed?
  My son has apnea also.  He is six months and is still having problems.  I hope your child is on a monitor, my son's has saved his life many of times.  Anyway, for the past 6 months doctor's have said my son had reflux too.  Finally last week they decided to look into it, they did a ph probe and found out it wasn't reflux.  If you really want to know if it's reflux, a PH probe is the best way to go.  As for the information on infant reflux, good luck!  I've looked for it too and came back empty
handed.  Also I know of many treatments for reflux, try them all.  Good luck with your daughter and I hope you have more luck with us.  

Dear Kelly and Sarah ;
There are a couple of good sites that provide updated information and guidelines on the management of infant apnea :
APNEA AND SIDS LINKS on Yahoo
University of California , San Diego web page ( UCSD)
I will be very happy to answer any questions you may not find an answer for on those websites . Keep us posted on how your baby does.
Regards
L.M.
