This isn’t a quick fix. Here’s why. ❤️
This is my own son, before and after his mouth started closing on its own during sleep.
I want to be honest: this wasn’t one trick or one exercise.
Every child’s mouth, airway, and habits are different. What helped him may not look the same for every child.
The exercises you find online aren’t necessarily wrong. But without understanding WHY your child is breathing this way, you’re guessing.
And guessing can take longer than an approach built around your child’s individual needs.
If your child sleeps with their mouth open, you’re not imagining it — and you don’t have to guess where to start.
