Some babies around one and a half years old may experience snoring while sleeping, which has caused a lot of anxiety among parents because they are worried that snoring will affect their baby's sleep quality. After all, the quality of baby's sleep is very important. So, what's wrong with snoring when a one and a half year old baby sleeps?
There are many reasons why a one and a half year old baby may experience snoring while sleeping. In addition to genetic factors, it is also related to factors such as tonsillar and adenoid hyperplasia, sinusitis, allergic rhinitis, nasal polyps, obesity, nasal septum curvature, asthma, etc. In addition, if the baby experiences symptoms of nasal congestion, they will breathe with their mouth open while sleeping, resulting in snoring.
If the baby is too tired during the day, they are also prone to snoring. Sometimes, sleeping posture can also cause snoring, which is due to the relaxation of muscles related to breathing during sleep, especially when the tongue muscles relax, causing the base of the tongue to slightly droop backwards, thereby affecting breathing and exhaust. Adjusting the sleeping posture or the height of the pillow can change the position of the tongue, thereby eliminating the symptoms of snoring.
If a one and a half year old baby's snoring sound during sleep is relatively light and their breathing is relatively even, it generally does not affect the quality of sleep, so parents and friends should not worry too much. If the baby keeps snoring and the snoring sound is quite obvious, sometimes even leading to breathing interruption, easy awakening, open mouth breathing and other situations, parents must pay attention and suggest taking the child to the hospital for consultation in a timely manner, so as to take appropriate treatment measures in a timely manner.
