My sister and I have always breathed through our mouths and neither of us have asthma or any breathing problems. I think that Luke might be a mouth breather alot of the time too - hhe can switch between the two ------------- Mum to two beautiful kids

The doctors at the hospital told me that babies are voluntary nose breathers for the first year, so breathing thru the mouth is quite normal (Thomas does this all the time) ------------- Alex, Thomas and Lily http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">

My girl has always been a mouth breather and definitely no asthma here, but she is getting her adenoids out next month. Doctor said she's really constricted in the nasal passages... ------------- http://lilypie.com">

I still breathe through my mouth and I dont have asthma. Could have been that fact that I smoked before finding out I was prego.
The research I have been looking up with babies, I havent seen anything like that anywhere. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Sounds like nonsense to me too. Asthma is a lung condition which has nothing to do with mouth or nose breathing, things like adenoids, tonsils etc. affect whether a person mouth or nose breathes but I'd say Jade is too little for those things to be a problem at this stage anyway.
Lil miss is mouth breathing mostly atm as she has a blocked nose. ------------- Maya Grace (28/02/03)
