1 Comment Published by Brian Yalung October 14th, 2007 in How to sleep better, SLEEP News, Sleep Issues, Snoring.
We often look at how our kids sleep when they are first born. We see them yawning, tossing and turning, or maybe even letting out a quiet murmuring sound which is eventually a snore. We will find it cute and amazing. But realistically, it is not really something we should adore or be proud of.
For all we know, these sounds are indications of something internally wrong with the child. Lapses in breathing or difficulty in the air passage is highly critical in children. It is best to mention this to their pediatrician beforehand just to be safe. Not a cause for alarm but if it recurs, then you may just have something to worry about.

Sleep Apnea May be in the Tonsils

Sleep apnea problems are often seen as a problem in adults. However, even the kids today suffer from unsuspecting sleep apnea issues. It is indeed something that may not be thought of but hearing or seeing your child breathing abnormally may lead a person to think that there is really something wrong with the child.
Tonsils would normally be identified as a culprit towards being an obstruction towards air passage in most people today. While it may be surprising to note on most kids today, the reality is that sleep apnea does not choose or have preference on which it victimizes. This includes kids who seem to be normal but have issues once they go to bed and rest.
