Thanks everyone for your comments. Seems like we should wait it out
until he turns 6 months to see what happens. My mother and I don't

It might be wise to have your nephew seen by a pulmonogist who
specializes in sleep disorders to ensure that his breathing is ok.

2.5 yrs and Addison's disease a few months later. She is now on a
trial of MMF (an immunosuppresant) and seems to be doing better with
it. Her calcium and calcitriol doses have been reduced by half and
she is now weaning off of prednisone, which she has been on since
December for malabsorption.
