Is loud snoring in a 1 yr. old child a concern?

Yes: This maybe something called laryngomalacia, which is related to airway tone/size. Should discuss with child's provider.

Yes: Children should not noticeably snore. If they do, something may be wrong. Obstructive sleep apnea is a concern. You should take your child to the pediatrician and request a referral to a sleep specialist.

YES: Snoring in an infant should be checked out immediately to rule out why. Breathing disorders can lead to a whole host of problems, including dental, where the child might begin to clench and grind and interrupt the natural eruption of the teeth. This mat prove to be a major problem down the road but it's the breathing problem to take care of now.
