Hello, my 16 month old baby snores often at night and has short pauses of 3-4 seconds. Could this be sleep apnea?

Good morning, ma'am,
Have you noticed any other symptoms such as a stuffy or runny nose, coughing or anything else? How would you describe his general condition, is he drinking well, wetting and soiling his diaper?

Hello,
Did you have access to the other details I provided because I don't see them? I was saying that my daughter is 16 months old and she snores at night, she also pauses when she breathes. She doesn't snore every night but it happens regardless of whether she is sick or not. Should I move up her appointment to 18 months or wait?

Thank you for the information, I'm sorry for the delay in my response, I hadn't seen the notification!
Snoring can occur depending on the position in which your child sleeps and if she has nasal congestion. If there are no other symptoms, it does not necessarily indicate a problem. It should also be noted that the breathing patterns of very young children are very irregular.
