Our idea of “sleeping tight” is when you see kids smiling while their eyes are closed and travelling in their Dream Land. However, many parents (especially the first-time parents) are troubled if their babies, toddlers, or kids are snoring.

Snoring is actually normal. This is something that you should not be worried about. More often than not, a child snores if they have colds or allergies that would result to stuffy nose.

But there are some cases that you should be bothered with your child’s snoring. If your child usually catches his/her breath while sleeping or the snore seems to loud, he/she might be having a disorder called Sleep Apnea. Although this usually to the children between 3 up to 6 years old, sleep apnea may also occur in younger child as well.

See to it that you mention this to your pediatrician. This may cause your child to be inactive during daytime since they might be awaken during the night because of this sleeping disorder.

Do you think your child has a sleep apnea or you think that his/her snoring is something that you should not be worried about?
