OK, I already posted this in the toddler section, but I seem to get more responses here in newborn and baby, and lots of you have more than one child, so here goes…We have noticed my son has snored heavily since about 12 months, he is now 15 months. Sometimes he also coughs in his sleep. He sleeps a lot,like kid his age should, but he is generally a really happy kid and plays pretty hard so he doesn’t seem to be hurting for sleep. However, I have noticed lately he wakes up still seeming pretty tired for a 1/2 hour or so, and he frequently wakes briefly in the wee hours of the night, bawls for a minute and is back to sleep before I can check on him.
Oh, yeah he is prone to colds and allergies, had to have tubes at 7 months, he had awful recurring ear infections, he almost always has a runny nose-our pediatricians still disagree whether its allergies, some blame it all on daycare, but he has had a runny nose almost from day one. I suffer from allergies and we live in an area known for allergens.
He turned 15 months on March 27, and has 16 teeth, so if teething make your nose run, maybe thats a factor? I know there’s disagreement on that one, too. Oh, and he is tiny weight wise, average height but below the chart for weight, so its not a weight issue.
Sorry this is so long, just wondering if anyone had an experience with nsoring or sleep apnea in their little ones, what were the symptoms, outcomes, etc
He has his 15 month checkup in 11 days, so I am planning on addressing it with his pediatrician.
Thanks.
The tubes cleared up his ear infections, thankfully, but yes, he seems to have perpetual colds, even though he was breastfed the first year.
He doesn’t wake every night, but at least maybe 2X/week.

Thanks guys.
Since he already has an ENT for his ears, I went ahead and got an appointment for him tommorow with the specialist-I figured the doctor would just refer him so I’d skip the middle man!
I feel much better!

I have thalasemia minor.Not sure if there is a relation, but when I work out, I constantly yawn. And after my work out, I have severe allergic reactions like a runny nose and I sneeze constantly. Even in the morning, just walking up stairs, I get the same symptoms without that asmthatic weeze. I’m 37 and wonder if it something with my heart. My resting heart rate is low=56. I sometime even wake in my sleep because of a lack of breath (like sleep apnea). So I’m wondering if it’s more than asthma.

My husband and i are pretty sure that our one year old has obstructive sleep apnea, she fits all of the symptoms and other people have suspected it since she was born. We made an appointment for the doctor but its not until Thursday so I was wondering if anyone knew what I could do to help her breathe while she’s asleep until we do get to talk to the doctor? thanks <3
yes she does snore and when she’s awake its not rare for her to have a runny nose and appear to be congested… we havent had anything checked out yet :( when she does quit breathing its for about 5+ seconds at a time then she gasps/chokes for air and this happens more than 10 times an hour, she hardly ever attempts to breathe out of her nose when shes asleep..
