How does apnea come about in neonates?

Apnea in neonates can occur due to a variety of reasons, including immaturity of the respiratory control center in the brain, prematurity, respiratory infections, birth trauma, congenital abnormalities, or other medical conditions. In some cases, apnea may be a normal part of a newborn's development and may resolve on its own as the baby grows and matures. However, persistent or severe apnea may require medical intervention and monitoring to ensure the baby's safety and well-being.
