Dr. McKenna's research clearly shows that when a baby experiences an episode
of apnea (not breathing) the mother rouses and touches the baby, speaks to
the baby, moves the baby, etc., thus ending the apneic episode.  This is
extremely obvious when you read his research and/or watch his videotapes.
Sometimes the baby wakes and rouses the mother to nurse, but when you are
talking about apnea -- one of the main risk factors for SIDS, it is believed
-- you find the baby in an apneic episode and the mother rousing the baby
and getting it breathing again.
