My 11 month old son stops breathing numerous times a night for about 10 seconds each. whats wrong with him?

Several reasons: This cessation of breathing in an infant can be central - nervous system, obstruction - blocking air entering his lungs or a mix of both. This is rare in full term infants and should be evaluated by his physician for a cause.
