Mouth breathing effects in toddlers, infants, babies and children and its correction
This article discusses the most essential discoveries in this area and answers such questions as,”Should I worry about my 4 year old breathing through his mouth?”
“Are these any special methods for infants mouth breathing?”
“What are the techniques to deal with oral breathing when sleeping in toddlers?”
“How to get a child to breathe through their nose?”
“What are the causes for breathing through their mouth?”
“How to fix mouth breathing at nights in children?”
“How can I deal with an infant noisy breathing?”
Mouth breathing in babies, children, toddlers and infants is an emerging problem facing parents and the medical community due to its devastating effects on the development of the young. In order to realize the broad scope of negative effects of mouth breathing, consider the titles of recent research articles:
Radiological evaluation of facial types in mouth breathing children: a retrospective study (Costa et al, 2008)
Prevalence of malocclusion among mouth breathing children: do expectations meet reality? (Souki et al, 2009)
Prevalence of oral malodor and the relationship with habitual mouth breathing in children (Kanehira et al, 2004)
Etiology, clinical manifestations and concurrent findings in mouth-breathing children (Abreu et al, 2008)
A comparative study of effects of mouth breathing and normal breathing on gingival health in children (Gulati, 1998)
Relationship between mouth breathing and postural alterations of children: a descriptive analysis (Krakauer et al, 2000)
The negative effect of mouth breathing on the body and development of the child (Flutter, 2006)
Revealed effects of mouth breathing in children, babies, toddlers and infants are:
- Malocclusion
- Enlarged adenoids
- Higher levels of Gingival index
- Enlarged tonsils
- Allergic rhinitis
- Obstructive deviation of the nasal septum
- Facial changes (long face, half-open mouth and increased anterior facial height)
- Postural alterations
- Oral malodor.
(Abstracts related to these medical research findings are on my website.)
Typical clinical manifestations of mouth breathing in the young include:
- Sleeping with mouth open
- Nasal obstruction
- Snoring
- Nocturnal sleep problems or agitated sleep
- Itchy nose
– Drooling on the pillow
- Irritability during the day
Major causes of mouth breathing and poor health in children are:
- Over-heating (too much clothing)
- Over-feeding of children by parents
- Lack of physical activity (or exercise with mouth open)
- Mouth breathing parents
– Sleeping on their back (except infants, who should sleep on their back while tightly swaddled)
- Junk food and deficincy of essential nutrients in diet (Mg, fish oil, Ca, and Zn)
In comparison with normal breathing in adults (8-12 breaths/min), normal breathing in the young is more frequent (newborns: 40-46 breath/min; infants: 20–40 breaths/min; preschool children: 20–30 breaths/min; older children: 16–25 breaths/min). The crucial thing, however, for maximum body oxygen content in children, is to have normal (up to 98%) oxygenation of the arterial blood (due to tummy breathing since costal or chest breathing reduces oxygen delivery to lower parts of the lungs and blood), but with higher cellular CO2 content. Therefore, ideal breathing is very slow and small, but using the tummy only. (Note that there are many silly and uneducated people, who believe that “Deeper breathing means more oxygen for the body” and promote the myth that “CO2 is a waste, toxic gas.)
Reduction of CO2 in the body, in fact, is the main mechanism and reason why oral breathing is so damaging. As in the case of healthy adults, normal breathing in children is very quiet or inaudible and almost invisible. CO2 plays the key role in O2 delivery due to its vasodilatory properties (expansion of blood vessels) and facilitating effects (O2 release in tissues due to the Bohr effect). Hence, the less we breathe, the more oxygen is delivered to our tissues).

The Discovery $3.95 "Wow THE DISCOVERY is one of the best paranormal suspense novels I have read in a while. It sucked me in from the beginning, and whereas I normally don’t sit at my computer and read a book from beginning to end in one sitting, I did for this one. I’m a little disappointed I have to wait to find out what happened to Lyle Forrester’s wife and children, and I’m eager to read the next book in the series, INTRIGUE, by Esther Mitchell. THE DISCOVERY has all the makings of a good suspense romance. It has realistic characters (even the ghosts), sizzling sex, a haunted mansion with a somewhat clueless owner, and an ending that leaves you wanting more. For a great way to pass a summer afternoon, read THE DISCOVERY today. Just be sure you don’t have to pass through any cemeteries tonight." — Angela Camp, Romance Reviews Today |

Discovery $7.49 Discovery: The First Installment teaches us what objectifying young women can lead to, and how common it is for young girls to unknowingly become a product of pop cultures message that woman are just objects. Discovery is a prime example of what happens to these people. Cutting, anorexia, promiscuity and apathy are common motifs among these young girls, and a fear of love is inevitable. The worst part, however, is that these people do not understand what the cause of these eccentricities are. This book is the first-hand account of how these behaviors come to life, and may be a bit of guidance to an unsure mind. Intended to be both a powerful story and guide for young girls, parents, teachers, and therapists, Discovery: The First Installment is a collection of the actual, unedited, handwritten and typed journals of Carly Costa, an eighteen-year old girl from Southern, NH.  The book is an artful form of expression. Carlys voice and spirit is clearly translated to the paper through both pen and type, and is bound to leave you feeling as if you have known her your whole life. The impact this average girl will have on you may astonish you.    When reading this book, we encourage you to periodically look at the pictures on the front cover. They are actual pictures of Carly taken during this part of her life.  For more information, go to  www.discoverythebook.com |

On Discovery $33.94 The Italian humanist Polydore Vergil (1470-1555) was born in Urbino but spent most of his life in early Tudor England. His most popular work, "On Discovery" ("De inventoribus rerum," 1499), was the first comprehensive account of discoveries and inventions written since antiquity. Thirty Latin editions of this work were published in Polydore’s lifetime, and by the eighteenth century more than a hundred editions had appeared in eight languages, including Russian. "On Discovery" became a key reference for anyone who wanted to know about "firsts" in theology, philosophy, science, technology, literature, language, law, material culture, and other fields. Polydore took his information from dozens of Greek, Roman, biblical, and Patristic authorities. His main point was to show that many Greek and Roman claims for discovery were false and that ancient Jews or other Asian peoples had priority. This is the first English translation of a critical edition based on the Latin texts published in Polydore Vergil’s lifetime. |

Lewis & Clark: The Journey of the Corps of Discovery $3.95 The companion volume to Ken Burns’s PBS documentary film, with more than 150 illustrations, most in full color. In the spring of 1804, at the behest of President Thomas Jefferson, a party of explorers called the Corps of Discovery crossed the Mississippi River and started up the Missouri, heading west into the newly acquired Louisiana Territory. The expedition, led by two remarkable and utterly different commanders — the brilliant but troubled Meriwether Lewis and his trustworthy, gregarious friend William Clark — was to be the United States’ first exploration into unknown spaces. The unlikely crew came from every corner of the young nation: soldiers from New Hampshire and Pennsylvania and Kentucky, French Canadian boatmen, several sons of white fathers and Indian mothers, a slave named York, and eventually a Shoshone Indian woman, Sacagawea, who brought along her infant son. Together they would cross the continent, searching for the fabled Northwest Passage that had been the great dream of explorers since the time of Columbus. Along the way they would face incredible hardship, disappointment, and danger; record in their journals hundreds of animals and plants previously unknown to science; encounter a dizzying diversity of Indian cultures; and, most of all, share in one of America’s most enduring adventures. Their story may have passed into national mythology, but never before has their experience been rendered as vividly, in words and pictures, as in this marvelous homage by Dayton Duncan. Plentiful excerpts from the journals kept by the two captains and four enlisted men convey the raw emotions, turbulent spirits, and constant surprises of the explorers, who each day confronted the unknown with fresh eyes. An elegant preface by Ken Burns, as well as contributions from Stephen E. Ambrose, William Least Heat-Moon, and Erica Funkhouser, enlarge upon important threads in Duncan’s narrative, demonstrating the continued potency of events that took place almost two centuries ago. And a wealth of paintings, photographs, journal sketches, maps, and film images from the PBS documentary lends this historic, nation-redefining milestone a vibrancy and immediacy to which no American will be immune. |

The Pages In Between: A Holocaust Legacy of Two Families, One Home By Erin Einhorn $16 <B>Now available in paperback: “a moving account of one woman’s brave journey as she confronts her mother’s past in the cold reality of the present. Einhorn has written a unique holocaust story—part testimony and part detective story” (Martin Lemelman, author of Mendel’s Daughter). <P></B><P>First aired as a segment of This American Life entitled “Settling the Score,” The Pages in Between is the moving story of Einhorn’s personal journey of reconciliation and discovery in modern-day Poland. Frustrated by her mother’s refusal to talk about her tragic and unusual childhood, Einhorn traveled to Poland to find the family that safeguarded her from the Nazis as an infant. What she uncovered was the legacy left behind by a sixtyyear- old promise made by her grandfather: to give the family that harbored her mother during the war everything he had—most importantly the deed to his own family’s house. In her attempt to fulfill that debt that saved her mother’s life, Einhorn comes face to face with the realities of present day Poland, where a dispute of this kind requires endless digging through painful and often hidden history. Along the way, she suffers her own personal losses and begins to question how much of the future should be jeopardized in order to right the wrongs of the past. Part family history, part personal and present coming of age memoir, The Pages in Between powerfully tells of a young woman’s quest for the “truth” about her mother’s life, and of learning the lesson that this truth might be impossible to find. |
