Mouth breather
Is your baby a mouth breather? Do you notice if they’re starting to get a “mouth breather” face? Maybe it’s just me. But if you’ve stopped it, what did you do?

Both of my boys have been mouth breathers. One had to get his adenoids out & the other has an upcoming appointment with ENT because he likely needs his tonsils out. Is the mouth breathing accompanied by anything like snoring, sleep apnea, or teeth grinding?
@Lauren 💫 she had her tongue tie removed when she was a month old, but not her lip tie.
@Kyra I’m not so sure about the snoring or teeth grinding, but I do notice that she does have a lot of restless sleep
Definitely possible she has some sort of airway obstruction or even allergies/sinus issues that prevent proper breathing through the nose. If you brought it up for your pediatrician they could probably get you a referral to ENT.
