15yo DS puts duct tape over mouth before sleeping

Buy him mouth tape. They sell it at target. But, also a sleep study would be better for him.

Even paper tape would work. Get duct tape off him. Yes, lots of people mouth breathe and it's not healthy.

NP. DCUM is as usual very confident about something it knows very little about. No, this isn’t just a TikTok thing. It’s been a fairly widespread practice among pro athletes for some time. He should be using medical tape, though.

Read the book “Breath” if you want to learn more.

My dentist recommended doing this but not with duct tape. I suppose the tape type isn’t massively important if not irritating but I guess your kid will find out!

3m medical tape on Amazon.
This comes from a book, Breathe, by James Nester. Search for online articles/podcasts. It was interesting to learn. TikTok will ruin this a bit, but science behind it is sound.

I don’t get enough air though my nose because I have a deviated septum. I think I would suffocate overnight.

The mouth tape thing is legitimate just get him better tape.

It is from a book called Breath by James Neator. It's a very interesting, well-researched book about the difference between mouth breathing and nose breathing.

Thanks, China, for the amazing Tik Tok. It’s so educational.

Mam, you should get your kid off TT. He clearly can’t handle it.

So what do you say to all of the dentists and doctors who also recommend it?

A lot of dentists recommend braces, but they don’t tell you to do it yourself with craft wire and superglue.

Oh, please. 1) You don't even know if he heard this on TT. 2) Of course, doctors didn't recommend duct tape. He is 15 and grabbed the first thing in the house. Buy him some medical tape and move on.

I do mouth and nose. Much more effective.
