Why does the baby snore?

There are many reasons for children's snoring, such as genetics. If the parents have jaw abnormalities and narrow airways, their children usually have the same problem, which will hinder their breathing during sleep. Pathologies of some glands around the respiratory tract are the main cause of snoring in children. For example, if the tonsils or adenoids are inflamed and swollen, the muscles will relax after the child falls asleep, and the swollen glands will temporarily block the airway. The obstructed ventilation makes it impossible to breathe through the nose during sleep, and the child will breathe through the mouth. As a result, the root of the tongue falls back and snoring is made with the breathing.

What to do if your child snores? Mothers can do the following in their daily lives:

1. Balance your baby's diet. For babies aged 10 months, add complementary foods in time, increase food diversity, and feed them reasonably.

2. Help your baby strengthen his physique and reduce the chance of upper respiratory tract infection. For example, let the baby bask in the sun more often and breathe fresh air; play crawling games to make the baby's body stronger.

3. Help your baby clean up nasal secretions such as mucus in time to keep the nose relatively unobstructed.

4. If your baby sleeps on his back and snores, you can try to change his sleeping position and raise his head appropriately with a baby pillow.

5. If the snoring symptoms are severe, consult a doctor in time and cooperate with treatment. If the adenoids are severely enlarged, surgery may be an option.

In addition, to prevent children from snoring, it is also necessary to pay attention to maintaining a balanced nutrition, prevent obesity due to overnutrition, ensure their regular rest time, and reduce strenuous activities at night. At the same time, we should pay attention to improving children's physical fitness, reducing the chances of contracting various acute and chronic respiratory infectious diseases, and avoiding upper respiratory tract obstruction caused by inflammation.

Through the above introduction, we have a detailed introduction to why babies snore. After the baby has the above problems, they must be improved in time. Moreover, for babies around one year old, you should choose easily digestible food in their diet. This kind of food will not cause any harm to the baby's body.
