Jesslyn Yaty: its normal i guez….my 2yr old gal also snores 🙂
Jackie Mk Lau: my 3 yr old snores once awhile, i guess when they are real tired
Sylvia Tang: Hi, snores are normal. But If it’s too loud and below 4 it’s not gd. My cousin bb recently went to pd cause his snore too loud, next room also can hear, pd say will affect the brain. Snores create vibration, if bb too small, the brain not fully develope, the brain cannot take the vibration.
Rachel Goh: my 10 mth old also snores, but only when he is laying on his back. Try to put BB on his side so that he wont snore and thus sleep better.
Josephine Tan: my gal stores too, when she is tired or having a block nose. I think its normal.
Dheeraj Khiatani: Hey, snoring is caused due to obstructed airflow. This can be due to many reasons for example the tongue rolling backwards when lying down flat or having excessive fat around the throat.
Sometimes this may cause the snorer to stop breathing for a few seconds causing him/her to wak up many times during the night. This may lead to daytime sleepiness. I personally dont think its a major problem, but may be worth bringing it up next time you’re at the doctors.
