Why do newborn babies snore in their sleep?

Baby snoring is a "very anxious" problem in parents' eyes. One is worried about whether the baby will have developmental problems; the other is worried about the impact on breathing, especially during sleep, the nose is blocked, and the baby can not breathe through the mouth, which is very dangerous. First, let's look at the 3 common reasons small babies snore:

1. The laryngeal cartilage is not well developed. the baby snores soon after birth, and there are no other abnormal symptoms, mostly due to poorly developed laryngeal cartilage caused. This "snoring" does not cause any harm to the baby's body; generally speaking, when the laryngeal cavity increases around the age of 2, the snoring will gradually disappear.
2. This is a nasal blockage. Such as the baby's nose is not cleaned, or the baby has a cold mucus in the nasal cavity, resulting in the baby not sleeping through the nasal cavity, forced to open mouth breathing, there will be snoring.
3. It is congenital laryngeal wheezing. Mostly caused by calcium deficiency, but it may also be due to other reasons, and parents need to check to find out.

How parents should avoid baby snoring, the following 3 care methods:

Sometimes the baby snoring is not necessarily a physical problem, but some external causes: for example, parents can usually observe that during the dry and cold autumn and winter, the baby's nasal cavity is easy to grow boogers, affecting breathing; summer blowing air conditioning is also easy to cause the baby snoring, these factors parents must not ignore.

Clean your baby's nasal cavity regularly.

A baby's nasal cavity is relatively small. Once the weather is dry, or the air is not in a good season, the glands in the nose will be stimulated to produce some mucus to moisten the nasal cavity and keep the nose moist. But the mucus can also absorb some dirty things, such as dust. If parents do not clean up on time, it will lead to these dirty things being dry and hard, blocking the baby's breathing.

Therefore, parents must clean their babies' nasal cavities regularly. There are various ways to clean the nasal cavity.

① You can use sea salt water to spray, soften the boogers, and then use a nasal aspirator to suck out the boogers. My baby will have a bottle of physiological nasal sea salt water every fall and summer, and every time they are found snoring, they will spray a spray, which effectively reduces the frequency of baby snoring. Buy sea salt water. Remember to buy physiological, does not contain other ingredients, mild and healthy, baby pregnant women can use.

②You can use a small cotton swab for babies, wet it with water, and pick it out slowly; if the booger dirt is hard, you need to soften it with olive oil and then pick it out; if the booger is deep, you can use a small strip of paper to put it in the baby's nasal cavity to stimulate the baby to sneeze and beat the booger out or move it to the outside a little.

③You can also use a nasal aspirator to suck out the snot from the nasal cavity. Every time my baby has a cold and a runny nose, I will suck it out, and then after the boogers are hard when the weather is dry, I will first spray them with sea salt water and then use this nasal aspirator to suck them out, which is more practical.

Properly control the air humidity in the room.

In dry weather seasons, such as autumn or summer air conditioning, the air humidity in the room will be relatively low, making people feel dry mouth and itchy body. This requires parents to find ways to control the air humidity in the room. Generally speaking, the best way is to get a humidifier to prevent dry nasal cavities triggered by snoring effectively.

Buy a humidifier with a baby at home. We should be careful: most water in the family humidifier is tap water. Tap water has many substances, through the humidifier sprayed into the air may be harmful to the baby's health, so choose a humidifier with a filtering function.

Pay attention to the sleep environment.

 

Generally speaking, it is not recommended to give small babies sleep pillows, especially do not let the baby pillow sleep high, so as not to affect breathing.

Even the baby sleep pillow, in addition, to buying a special baby pillow, pillow material selection should also be strictly guarded. Otherwise, it will not only affect the baby's breathing but also cause harm to the baby's body.

Do not put some dolls and other items next to the baby because some of the fine plush on the doll is easy for the baby to grab off into the mouth or float to the baby's nasal cavity.

For babies who snore a lot, parents should usually pay attention to 3 tips.

Babies originally have to snore or are easily affected by the weather, temperature, and humidity. Then usually in the care of the baby, parents should pay extra attention to: First: try not to let the baby catch a cold, for babies with snoring behaviour, mothers should pay extra attention when taking care of the baby, once the baby catches a cold, it is easy to lead to the baby.

1. try not to let the baby catch a cold, for the baby snoring behaviour, mothers in the care of extra attention, once the baby catch a cold, it is easy to cause the baby can not breathe through the nose, in eating milk or after falling asleep is particularly dangerous.
2. fewer baby-blowing fans, air conditioning, and blowing air conditioning fans will cause the baby's nasal cavity to be drier, affecting the nose ventilation. It may aggravate the baby's snoring situation, unable to sleep peacefully. Even to blow in the summer, ensure the temperature is not too low, avoid blowing on the baby, and put a humidifier at home.
3. Take your baby to places where the ash layer is too dry. This is because the baby's nasal cavity is more sensitive than the adult's, and the ash layer will easily form boogers when it enters the baby's nasal cavity.
