Sleeping problems in children with Down's Syndrome
Babies with Down's syndrome may not sleep well due to sleep apnoea, where the airways become blocked briefly, forcing them to wake. Don't sit it out - make an appointment with your GP, as there are treatments to help you all get a better night's sleep.
