Today, I discovered my boyfriend listens way better in his sleep than he does when he's awake. FML

Baby fever
Today, I woke up to the sound of my newborn screaming. I frantically hopped out of bed and stumbled into the nursery where I was met by the priceless sight of my five-year-old daughter attempting to breastfeed her understandably frustrated little brother. FML

Teamwork
Today, my newborn daughter has kept me up all day and all night for the past few days. Usually my husband sleeps. I finally cracked and yelled for his help, only for him to scream at me that he needs sleep and gives her to me anyway. FML

Today, I noticed the only time my husband stops snoring like a drunken horse is so that he can fart. FML

Demonic attack!
Today, my 10-month-old kept me up all night after a gruelling day. I finally fell asleep with her at about 2 a.m., and I woke up half an hour later to her hands on my throat, and her biting my nose. Startled, I took a big breath through my nose and snorted an ungodly amount of slobber. I’m awake now. FML

Today, my husband sent me a short video of my snoring last night because I wanted to hear how bad I sound. The first few seconds went by OK, but for the rest of the clip I could barely hear anything else over the sound of my husband taking a long piss in our bathroom. FML

Today, my 9 month-old son realized he is just as tired as I am. His solution is to cry loudly. My solution was to cry along with him. FML

Today, not only does my cat rabidly attack my face if I don't let him sleep on my pillow, but he snores too. FML

Hushhhh
Today, I finally got my fussy newborn back to sleep after the creaking of my chair woke her. I then crept two rooms over and opened a pack of chips, the crinkle of which woke her again. FML

You might want to get his septum looked at. It could be a problem down the line. My father recently had to have surgery on his after it developed to the point he could no longer smell.

At least the child is sleeping. That has to count for something.

It's also possible that it is a symptom of reflux, stridor, and/or possibly a milk allergy. The baby I nanny for would breath so deeply and heavily that it would sound like she was snoring, even when awake. Come to find out she had all of the above. Medicine for the reflux (and keeping her angled instead of laying her flat down after a feeding) and switching to non-dairy and non-soy has helped tremendously. At almost six months she has outgrown her reflux, stridor and we're weening her back on to cows milk.

I had this problem as a kid from tonsils that were too big, causing sleep apnea

You really need to get it checked out. It sounds similar to Laryngomalacia, which if it is, eventually they should grow out of it. People are often surprised at how noisy sleepers babies are, they let out all manner of squeaks and grunts.

Sawing logs is the most accurate description of snoring sounds. I've never heard that before.

Am I the only one who finds the sound of snoring relaxing? Yes? I'll go back to bed now.

How are his lungs so strong?!?!

Do you know what snoring is...?

Yes, i know it has to do with an obstructed air way, but it needs the person to be breathing heavily for them to be snoring loudly. Otherwise, it's not causing the vibrations that are snoring.

newborns breathe a lot differently than older children and adults do. It's a lot more sporadic and they take more breaths than what is normal for us. Their lungs are not stronger than ours in any way.

The baby might be able to sleep, but you won't

And not because of the usual reasons. Such as the baby crying.

With a newborn you usually won't be able to sleep anyway, so be happy! Now that he is asleep, he won't be as cranky in the morning and you can finally nap, while your husband can care for your baby!

Sorry OP. Maybe things will get better as he ages?
