Baby sleeps with mouth open

2025-05-30 22:40:11
My baby is now 6 months almost. From 1 month of his age he sleeps with open mouth and most of the time he opens his mouth which cause excess saliva secretion. Is anything need to worry?

Nothing major to really bother but be vigilant of snoring and persistent open mouth breathing. Please consult ENT doctor and ur pediatrician
