Apnea and hyperpnea are common among babies while they are sleeping, particularly when they have reflux. One should not worry about it. Don't forget burping a baby after they have been breast fed of bottle fed.

Possibly. One does not make the other more likely. SIDS is thought to be a form of sleep apena. Be sure to put them to sleep on a slight recline.

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) was caused by reflux or night time heartburn, and affects 4% to 9% of men and 1% to 4% of women. This study was only done on adults from the North American population. The normal age of test subjects was 40 and affects about 35% of the population.
