see your son may have blocked nose ( which can be due to bottle feeding if being fed ) which causes such sounds during sleep.there are some congenital condition which can also cause this but need not to worry as they get resolved by themselves with time.still to come to the definative diagnosis a complete physical examination is must.for nasal blockade you can try nasal saline drops one drop in each nostril sos.

Hi Dear

Welcome to the Health Care Magic.

Newborn babaies are obligatory nasal breather, they can not breath through their mouth in normal circumstances.

Often mucus plug blocks the nasal passage.
Saline Nasal Drops to be poured in both the nares frequently, and always before feeds, so the nasal passage opens and baby can breath through his nose and also can feed effectively.

Ocassionally nasal passage is congenitaly blocked . Which can be examined and managed by your paediatrician.

Hope the query is answered.
Thanks

Hi,

Thanks for writing to health care magic.
I can understand your concern.

If you observe that your baby is stopping his breath for some time then it is better to get your baby examined by your paediatrician once.

Simple snoring could be because of blockage of nose and normal saline drops will be prescribed by your doctor after examining the baby.

Continue to ask further queries as required.
Hope this helps.
Take care.
