reflux causing apnea??

Posted by JerryandDawn on December 02, 2002 at 03:09:00:

The craziest thing happened tonight. My daughter stopped breathing during a feeding ... at least it appeared that way. Long story short, mom was feeding her, she has a cold or some "mucous" in her throat. My daughter started coughing so she pulled out the bottle, sat her up real straight and she turned white, then purple, blue ... since she has been coughing our bulb syringe is handy ... she sucked some out, and slowly he colored returned. We took her to the ER. The doc says it probably was caused by her reflux. She is being monitored over night.

Any info on relux and apnea (doc says it is common).
