Baby mouth open while sleeping

2025-04-02 10:30:13
My 2 year old frequently sleeps with mouth open posture since 3 months now. If he turns to side, mouth closes. no snoring He had cold earlier since almost 3 months on and off. since past 2 weeks no cold still this habit is there. Even if I close his mouth in sleep, he ends up opening it in sleep. He is breastfeeding baby . Ent doc told to put saline spray which we are putting but still is persistent. Any peadtric dentist /myofunctional dentist we need to consult ? My elder son had similar issue but including snoring and now we know because of enlarged adenoids and tonsils.

Hello It is very common if someone in the family has the same habit too or it might be also due to-adenoid and tonsillitis
