The danger is with "sleep apnea". This is when the breathing is blocked at the back of the throat and the person does not breathe for several tries. It often starts as snoring. This is dangerous. I would imagine that it is just as dangerous for infants as it is for adults...maybe even more so. If your baby is doing this, you may want to consult your pediatrician. He/she may need to be monitored (with a machine that sounds an alarm if it happens) while sleeping until he/she outgrows it.

Snoring per se isn't bad for you. But it *can* (in some cases) be a sign of a health problem, some of which are dangerous. It can also be bad for you if you share a room with someone else; you can wake up with black and blue marks and have no idea how you got them.
It is unlikely to be unhealthy in an otherwise healthy baby, but if your baby has other health concerns or if you are concerned, talk to your pediatrician.

Snoring can be harmful if you wake yourself up out of a sleep by doing it. (in adults) I t can stop your heart. In children it can be bad also. They could have adnoids or bad tonsils. Go to the doctor . S.
