My little man, who is 3 yrs. old now, snored from the get-go and still is a snorer! It could just be that your son has narrow nasal passages, like ours does. Still, i would ask his pediatrician about it...it could be harmless, but it could be a sign of impending sleep apnea as someone mentioned. A call to the Doc should ease your minds!

Well, I would suggest possibly calling Department of Family Services... not sure they could do anything though for stupidity. 6 months is not the earliest - as long as the baby is growing normally, 4 months is when you can begin rice cereal. 6 months you can begin introducing fruits and veggies. I think a 3 week old may be able to handle more than 2 ounces of milk. Depends on the weight, but I would hate to "limit" a baby to such an amount. You give a baby as much milk as they want. Cereal doesn't make a baby sleep through the night. Gaining weight does. Unless you can miraculously gain 10 pounds to the child, it just isn't going to happen. And feeding the baby cereal at this age may actually prolong "sleeping through the night". Since the baby can't digest the cereal, but will feel full, the baby will need evern MORE feedings because the baby is not getting the adequate amount of milk. This is why parenting licenses are a good thing!

Snoring and sleeping with his or her mouth open might be something to worry about if the baby does it all the time. It is usually a sign of sleep apnia, or a sleep disorder, just ask your baby's doctor about it. Good Luck!

Sounds to me like adenoids or he/she has a deviated septum and can be corrected surgically. That only means that the child is a mouth breather and has a hard time breathing through his nose due to a blockage. If this is so, then the child probably has a hard time drinking from a bottle or breast feeding because while he is sucking he/she cannot breathe. I would have the doctor check this out and have it repaired as quickly as possible

get a vaporizor for his room. He just needs his nasal passages opened to sleep with his mouth closed. He isn't getting the air he needs via nose.
I did this as a child until I was 6 and I had my adenoids removed, but I wouldn't worry about that just yet.

You should speak to the pediatrician ASAP to see if the adenoids are causing this. If that's the case, they might simply remove it surgically and you'd immediately notice a difference.
