My 4 year old son is snoring a lot at night. There is no congestion or nose block. He also tends to breathe from mouth. Overall he is sleeping fine and no obvious change in day time activities; at times gets restless at night. Should I be worried?

Read moreTo start with, I must say, the answer to “Should I be worried?” is - DEFINITELY NOT!
Worrying does not lead us to solve anything!
Snoring is due to obstruction, for sure.
The narration of “no congestion or nose block” ,needs a relook.
Congestion will be cleared by the body when it gets enough CONSERVED VITALITY.
More and more conservation of VITALITY for the child can be possible, following ways...
-
Be there, when your child is restless to soothe!
-
Ensure ample natural food consumption, primarily fruits.
-
Since the child is active, nothing to do at this point. The child should be playful and active.
-
Keep the mental environment, joyful,for the baby.
Thank you...

Hi. Snoring mainly happens when there is cough/cold congestion or due to some allergic reaction or if there is some inflammation in the respiratory tract. If your son's snoring is not a regular affair, don't think too much about it. Also because you mentioned there is no impact on his daytime activities. Observe for few more days.
In the meanwhile, try to do a few things - 1. make him do steaming before sleeping everyday. Put few drops of eucalyptus oil in the steam water. 2. Do a deep cleaning of his bedroom. Change the bedsheets, vacuum clean the matress or put it out in the sun, wash the curtains & stuff toys, etc. 3. Let some fresh air into his room, ideally in the morning, but see your comfort based on temperature outside. 4. Dairy & white sugar are big culprits when it comes to breathing issues. Hope your son is off those.
Please get him checked for adenoid or tonsil swelling. My son had it too. If so, these can be healed naturally by following the principles of natural living and natural foods
The connections or synapse between 2 nerve cells sometimes don’t pass correctly if the baby’s body is spending more vitality then it just conserve. This can lead to insomnia , lack of sleep or being too active in the night and not being able to sleep.. etc . The gut has to be cleaned .
Hence try to focus more on eliminating
Diary
Wheat
Soy
Refined foods
Polished foods
Ready to eat foods including bakery items choc and biscuits .. trust me they are the worse in the entire food pyramid.
Add more fruits to the baby’s diet
You might think we are asking you to take away the childhood from the baby by removing the above so called “let them eat and have fun at this age” foods, but trust me , a healthy child is a gift and it came like one and we have to maintain as such. My daughter had similar issues before we went vegan and she stopped breathing loudly over time. Give it 6 months to a year. As his body starts detoxing, he will sleep well.
