Is snoring when your 1 years old ok?

Yes: Snoring in a 1 year old can be normal...Generally it is from enlarged adenoids. It can also occur when there is a cold and the nasal passages are swollen. If it is super loud and he seems to have gaps in his breathing, see an ENT to check things out. If it is not that loud chances are he will outgrow it as his airway grows. It is also worth mentioning at your next doctor visit.

Snoring 1 year Old: Snoring is never ok, but it is usually more a nuisance than a danger. A 1-year snorer has a stuffy nose also. If you see frequent pauses, associated with restless sleep, then a sleep study should be obtained. Generally, surgery (removal of tonsils and adenoids) is reserved for children over age 3, unless there is associated heart failure or failure to thrive - both are rare. See pediatrician.
