How do newborns stay in a light sleep state at night and make snoring sounds?

Patient's question:

Sure, I can help with that. However, you haven't provided any content to translate. Please provide the text you want to be translated into English.

Doctor's answer:

Your baby always groans and strains while sleeping at night, kicking their legs and making their little face turn red. Consider whether they might be hungry or need to urinate or defecate. You need to address this promptly. When straining, they may also vomit milk, and there have been instances where milk was even choked out of their nose. This is because newborns' stomachs are horizontal, with a relaxed upper esophageal sphincter and a tight pyloric sphincter at the lower end, making this phenomenon more common. Be careful not to choke the baby; it will improve over time. After feeding, you can pick up the baby and gently pat them for a while.
