Hi Viv,

That's about right except it's at a given pressure required to keep the airway open. I've heaard that many babies have apnea when they are born and many grow out of it.

I hope your son is doing OK. I have twin boys that were 5 weeks premature and spent 10 days in the NICU. They are 4 years old now and doing fine.
