👶💨 Did you know the way your baby breathes can shape their future health?
Most new parents are told to watch for feeding cues, sleep schedules, and milestones—but few are told to look at how their baby breathes.
From birth, babies are designed to be nasal breathers. Nasal breathing helps:
✨ Guide healthy facial and airway development
✨ Support proper tongue posture for feeding and swallowing
✨ Improve sleep quality and immune health
When babies switch to mouth breathing (from congestion, tongue-tie, or tension), it can lead to:
🚩 Open-mouth posture
🚩 Poor sleep quality
🚩 High, narrow palates
🚩 Long-term airway and speech challenges
🌿 At Schie Health, we use gentle oral motor exercises, craniosacral therapy, and myofunctional support to help infants breathe, feed, and grow as nature intended.
💡 Early intervention matters. Supporting nasal breathing in infancy lays the foundation for lifelong wellness—from better sleep to confident communication.
