📋Overview
Infantile apnea is a term historically used to describe episodes of paused breathing in infants. The modern preferred term is 'apnea of infancy,' which refers to temporary cessation of breathing in infants, often related to immature respiratory control. It is most commonly seen in premature infants and usually resolves as the infant matures.
