You wanted to know if it's normal for your 5-year-old to snore really loud. And this is actually something that I would bring to the attention of your pediatrician. When a child snores, if they have periods of time during sleep when their breathing pauses, if they gasp, if they snort, or if they have behavioral issues during the day, they may have a condition called obstructive sleep apnea, and sometimes it's due to enlarged tonsils. And a doctor can tell by just looking in a child's throat and asking the parent more specific questions about their concerns and observations, and then they can determine if further investigation and intervention is warranted from there. If you have more questions in the future for me, feel free to ask them at Intermountain Moms on either our Facebook or Instagram pages, and recommend us to your friends and family too.
