Hey Holly, Our son Kyno(almost 4) has had his first sleepstudy when he was 2 months old. That one went fine. Now he has got every year a sleepstudy with all the wires, probes, flow sensor, ... Everytime it's a nightmare to make him ready for the test. Especialy when they have to place the flow sensor.
He also has got every 3 months a samplingstudy. this is also a sleepstudy but then with an artificial line to study his CO2 and O2 in his blood every 2 hours)
Here in Belgium we always have to stay at least 2 nights for the sleepstudy, because kids need to get use to the other room, bed, ...
I hope you will try it again. I think it's very important to know if everything goes well during sleep.
Good luck
Kind regards
Tanja
