What causes babies to snore when they sleep?

Some parents will find a very strange phenomenon, that is, babies snore when they sleep, so parents will wonder whether there is a problem with the baby's physical health or other unfavorable factors. Then let's analyze for you what are the reasons that may cause babies to snore when they sleep, as well as scientific and effective solutions.

1. The baby's sleeping posture may be wrong, sometimes with his neck bent. Try letting the baby sleep with his head sideways. This will prevent the tongue from drooping too far back and blocking the breathing passage. Maybe the snoring problem will be solved.

2. It may be due to being too tired during the day, or being sick with a cold. It's okay, just observe it more. My baby sometimes has this problem, but I can't tell where he's uncomfortable. Just lower the pillow a little bit and it will be fine. If his neck is hunched, straighten his head.

3. Milk stasis in infants:

Some very young babies may snore sometimes. This is not a disease but is caused by milk congestion. Due to swallowing, some babies will have milk clots in their throats. On the one hand, it makes it difficult for the baby to feed smoothly. On the other hand, it makes the airway obstructed, causing the baby to snore while sleeping.

Countermeasure: After feeding the baby, the mother should not put the baby down to sleep immediately, but should hold him up and pat his back gently to prevent the baby from snoring due to milk accumulation. If the milk clots are severe and have affected breastfeeding, you only need to drop 1 to 2 drops of saline solution into the nasal cavity to dilute the milk clots.

4. Some babies occasionally snore while sleeping. This may be due to the relaxation of breathing-related muscles during sleep, especially the relaxation of the tongue muscles, which causes the root of the tongue to droop slightly backwards, affecting the exhaust during exhalation. When the body position is changed, the position of the tongue is also changed, and the snoring disappears. In this case, there is no need to go to the hospital for treatment.

Parents should pay attention to the healthy sleeping of their babies. If they find any abnormal conditions in their lives, they should not ignore them. Because if you ignore these problems, it will naturally bring more impacts and threats to the baby's health invisibly. As for the snoring of babies, we need to find the correct cause before we can effectively solve it.
