I wish I knew it is not normal for my child to sleep with their mouth open!

Did you know that it is not normal for children to breathe through their mouth while sleeping?  As parents, we often think it is cute, especially in infants. But when children sleep with their mouth open, it’s often an indicator that there is an airway obstruction. We encourage parents to seek treatment of airway obstruction as soon as possible, before it leads to a lifetime of bad breathing habits and permanent incorrect skeletal development.
