Thanks for the query.
I can understand your concern.
Touch or nudge your baby to see if he responds while having an attack of sleep apnea.
Some children with obstructive apnea need to use a CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure) machine.
If problem persists you can see the pediatric pulmonalogist or do the sleep study.
Hope i helped you.
