My 1 yr old mostly keeps his mouth open and drools a lot most of d time. but able 2 nose-breathe while eatng&wen i breastfeed.wat could be d reason?

It happens: Babies have no social conscience and freely drool, make odd noises, etc. as a matter of daily living.It does not necessarily point to a problem. It often increases during tooth eruption or if there are sores in the mouth, but it can occur naturally until they decide not to.
