    Hey Mumma, 

    Does your little one snore loudly when sleeping? Do they sleep with their mouth wide open?

    Although snoring & open mouth breathing in children is quite common, these may also be signs of Obstructive Sleep Apnoea (OSA) or Sleep Disordered Breathing (SDB). 

    We always like to rule these out before working with clients. 
    Let's talk about the red flags to look out for, what could be causing it and where to get help. 
    Causes may include:
    • Enlargement of the tonsils in the back of the throat.
    • Adenoids in the back of the nose.
    • Turbinates (small bony structures) in the breathing passages.
    If this is something you are experiencing with your little one, your GP can arrange a referral to a paediatrician and/or an ear, nose, and throat specialist (ENT). 

    They may also suggest a sleep study (polysomnogram) which monitors your child while they sleep.
