Question
A two-month-old baby often makes a stuffy nose sound while sleeping, and sometimes the stuffiness leads to spitting up milk. What could be the cause of this? What should I do?
Answer
Children spend about two-thirds of their time sleeping, and the growth hormone that promotes growth and development is mainly secreted during deep sleep at night. Therefore, adequate sleep is a basic condition for the brain and physical growth and development. While snoring children may seem to be sleeping soundly on the surface, this is actually an indication of a breathing disorder. These children have a significantly higher chance of developing diseases such as hypertension, heart disease, and stroke in adulthood.
