The baby has a cute and innocent appearance when sleeping, which even parents can't see enough of. If you observe your baby's condition carefully, you can also understand their physical condition through their sleep state. Some babies sleep with their mouths open, so why don't babies shut up while sleeping?
1. One of the main factors causing infants to sleep with their mouths open is blocked nostrils, as crying or prolonged uncleaning of the nostrils can lead to mucus buildup and coughing. Unable to suck smoothly. If the mother finds that the baby's nostrils are blocked, she can use saline spray to soften the baby's nasal excrement, and then use a nasal aspirator to suck it out. Try not to use cotton swabs to clean the nostrils, as it can easily puncture the nasal cavity.
2. When a baby is playing, their nasal congestion may not be obvious, but it begins to worsen during games when the baby is sleeping and lying down. If parents are not careful, babies may develop a serious sucking system disease. If that's the case, keep the environment clean. Dust, fungi, water droplets, perfume and cigarettes are harmful to baby absorption.
3. The tongue is too large, which is relatively rare. When a baby with a big tongue lies flat, the tongue will block his throat backwards. How to check if a baby has a large tongue? Mothers can carefully observe whether babies like to stick out their tongues during normal times. If they never or rarely stick out their tongue, they should go to the hospital to see a dentist.
4. Obese babies have shorter necks and more soft fat in their throats, which narrows their airways. They need to open their mouths and breathe hard. If that's the case, the mother should pay attention to whether the baby's nutritional combination is reasonable, whether the food intake is too large, and encourage the baby to exercise more.
