Question
My child is two months old, and now they often snore during sleep, with their nose making a gasping sound. Sometimes, when they hold their breath, they tend to spit up milk. What could be the reason for this, and what should I do? Thank you!
Answer
Children spend about two-thirds of their time sleeping, and the growth hormone that promotes growth is mainly secreted during deep sleep at night. Therefore, good and sufficient sleep is a basic condition for the brain and body to grow and develop. While a snoring baby may seem to be sleeping soundly on the surface, snoring is actually a manifestation of a breathing disorder. For such children, the likelihood of developing diseases such as hypertension, heart disease, and stroke later in life is also greatly increased.
