10 sec/ok 1 min=no: Infants can occasionally pause between breaths, more commonly in sleep. The acceptable duration would be up to about 10 seconds but NEVER a minute.A humidifier would never be appropriate. Such a kid should be seen immediately by an ENT specialist. If this was an exaggeration, this still requires monitoring. Make an auditory or video record the pattern for review by his doc.

Sleep evaluation : A sleep evaluation by virtual consult may be helpful. The video and audio recording may be uploaded for assessment. Monitor for skin color changes, unusual behavior and other new symptoms. Please see your physician for further evaluation.
