Does my baby's sleep get affected by a snoring partner or nanny?

Whether snoring affects your baby's sleep often depends on the consistency of the sound. Many babies find a steady, rhythmic snore acts similarly to white noise, which can actually be soothing. However, sudden or irregular loud noises may cause startle reflexes or awaken a light sleeper, so you may need to utilize a white noise machine near the baby's crib to mask those disruptive sounds.
