    My son snores just like his momma and daddy! Has since he was born! The pediatrician says it is just fine and NOT sign of anything wrong. Baby's don't know how to breathe through their mouths so sometimes even a little nasal congestion (which they can get from sucking milk in there) can contribute to snoring....We live in cold dry climate so I use saline in his little nose and suction it out morning and bedtime to easy things up for him.... Just to be safe I would discuss it with your pediatrician at your son's next visit.

    sleep apnea is a very delicate subject. My daughter does NOT suffer from it, but I do hear a little snore every now and then out of her. However, with a medical issue I would ALWAYS ask a medical doctor. If you feel you havent gotten the right answer, you have every right to go to another dr. and ask them. After all it's for you child! :)

    So does my 9 month old - it's kind of cute! Gets it from his dad! I just make sure that he is able to breathe through his nose - that his nose is not clogged up (able to breathe with his mouth closed). Should be fine.

    Maybe your baby is not getting proper support when he's lying down. When the head tilts down, he can't breathe properly. You need a good pillow.
