Does your baby sleep with their mouth open?

A simple lip check could change everything! 👇

🚫 Chronic mouth breathing keeps your baby’s brain in fight-or-flight (sympathetic) mode, triggering stress hormones, increasing restlessness, and making it harder for them to settle into deep, restorative sleep. Over time, this can impact nervous system regulation, focus, and even facial development.

✅ Nasal breathing shifts the brain into growth and development mode—hello, calm baby and thriving brain!

Try this quick check:
Gently lower their bottom lip—does their tongue rest on the roof of their mouth? This isn’t just a check—it’s an exercise!

👅 If their tongue rests at the bottom, they may be mouth breathing. Try this:
➡️ Lightly press the soft area under their chin to help elevate the tongue. Hold for 4 seconds and then recheck!
