2 week old making weird noises?




asia


is it normal for 2 week old babies to make weird noises? Also how did everyone stop worry them self sick about SIDS?


Answer
Yes, 2 week olds huff and puff and gasp and grunt and generally sound as if they were purposely trying to make a new mom mad with anxiety.

In terms of worrying about SIDS, you don't really stop. This is one of the reasons new moms look stressed out all the time.

Does my baby have sleep apnea?




brianne f


He's two months old and he snorts like he's congested in his nose. he does sweat while he sleeps. He can't hold a pacifier in his mouth for longer than 15 seconds and he will only sleep or like ten minutes at a time then he wakes up like he startled and makes this wierd noise like he's gasping for air but he doesn't open his mouth. I want to take him to a specialist but I'm on Medicaid. Is there any other option I can take?where do I go from here? Moms how did you know your little one had sleep apnea


Answer
Hello Brianne,

It looks like your baby has sleep apnea.
Until you can go to a sleep specialist, you need to be careful with the baby (and I'm sure you are).

Babies under one year of age are in danger if they have sleep apnea. There is a syndrome, called Sudden Infant Death Syndrome which is an unexplained and fatal syndrome that affects infants. Scientist believe that sleep apnea is one of the cause of death in infants.

But you can do something until you go to a sleep specialist. As I said, you need to pay attention with your baby.

There are some preventive measures that can protect your baby from Sudden Infant Death Syndrome:

- breastfeeding

- always putting the baby to sleep on its back or side, and never on its stomach.

- avoid smoking in the home and near the baby.

- removing fluffy bedding and toys who can suffocate the baby

- using a firm bedding or a pacifier

- learning CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation)

- using alarm devices that can detect when a baby stops breathing (apnea monitor)

- talking with a pediatric sleep specialist if you think your baby may be at risk of sudden infant death syndrome.

I hope this will help you, and your baby will be fine. Take care!
