Hi all,
A mom called me today (permission to post) with a 4 month old baby on an 
apnea monitor for previous apnea who is breastfeeding.  Mom gets her menses 
early with each baby although she is exclusively breastfeeding.  She has 
noticed that the baby has had several episodes the first 1-2 days of each 
menses where the baby's heart rate dips to the 30s and the O2 sat dips to the 
60s 1-1 1/2 hours after nursing when he's lying in the cradle.  She picks him 
up and his heart rate and O2 sat recover quickly.  She has had to call 911 in 
the past for these episodes.  Could there be any correlation with her menses 
or is this just a coincidence?  Any ideas?  Her last baby had transposition of 
the great vessels as well as many other anomalies diagnosed later including a 
brain malformation--can't remember exactly what type.  First child is healthy.
