And once I get to sleep, it wakes me up several times a night. We have a 3 month old that I have to get up with, so I'm literally not getting any sleep. We've tried everything, even the Dr. said there's not much we can do about it. Any suggestions?

Hi lady, likely your husband have allergies.
Many people may not realize this but, if your husband have allergies, he may snore. When airways become restricted, or breathing becomes difficult, snoring is often the result. Airways, both throat and nasal, are often restricted with allergy sufferers. Breathing steam from hot running water and ridding your home of airborne allergies are among the remedies that can help your husband to sleep better and snore no more.
Also if your husband are overweight, or have been diagnosed with obesity, he are more likely to snore. In fact, obesity is one of the leading causes of snoring. A healthy weight loss program, which consists of both diet and exercise, may help to eliminate snoring problem and promote a healthier overall lifestyle.
Your husband also can use of an anti-snoring device, such as the Sleep Genie, he can comfortably support his jaw while keeping his mouth closed through the night.

Has he tried a CPAP machine, has he tried sleeping with the head of the bed elevated? Does he have sleep apnea? Has he had a sleep study done? I would get a second opinion. Even consult with an accupuncturist. They do more than just put needles in you. His snoring may well affect his heart and it can affect your health, too, with the sleep deprivation. Maybe stay in the room with him until he is asleep (get your snuggles in) and then sleep in the room with the infant. At least until you figure out something that will help. I wish you the best. (And him, too.)

I've heard that "Breathe Right Nasal Strips" work really well...
Other then that:
What I do with the same problem is hook up an air purifier right next to my bed. The noise covers up the snoring- Just make sure your baby monitor is on full blast to ensure you hear your little one.

Try the nose strips or throat spray. You could try ear plugs, but since you have a baby that isn't ideal. Maybe you should sleep in the baby's room until it can sleep through the night.
Or have your husband sleep on his stomach, that helps my husband.

We have tried everything: sleep clinic, nasal strips, surgery, head of bed elevated, etc. Short of strangling him, separate bedrooms (with visiting privileges) are the answer. Good luck!!

It could be related to his heart. Does he have high blood pressure? This is a very serious situation. I'm surprised that your doctor gave up so easily, and expressed a nonchalant attitude. I would seek another medical opinion.
