🫁 Asthma + allergies - what’s the connection?

Asthma and allergies can sometimes occur together, but having allergies doesn’t automatically mean a child has asthma.

And when it comes to wheezing, there isn’t always a simple answer. Young children can wheeze during viral infections such as colds without necessarily having persistent asthma.

So how can parents make sense of it?

🌿 When do symptoms occur?
🌿 Do they follow a seasonal pattern?
🌿 Are there particular triggers?
🌿 Do symptoms happen with colds or infections?
🌿 Have symptoms changed over time?

Looking at the bigger picture can help your child’s healthcare professional understand their symptoms and whether further assessment may be appropriate.

This Asthma Week (1–7 September), we're raising awareness about children's breathing and the connection between respiratory and allergic health.

Many babies make all sorts of noises while they breathe - snuffles, squeaks and little grunts are often a normal part of early life.

But sometimes noisy breathing can be a sign that it's worth looking a little closer.

If your baby has:
💙 Regular snoring or noisy breathing
💙 Squeaky or high-pitched breathing (stridor)
💙 Feeding difficulties or slow weight gain alongside breathing concerns
💙 Ongoing airway concerns following a NICU stay

…it may be worth discussing with your GP or paediatrician.

Swipe through this guide to learn:
✔️ What's usually normal
✔️ Signs that deserve further assessment
✔️ When to seek urgent medical care
✔️ How the Newcastle Infant Airway & Feeding Clinic can help

Most importantly, you know your baby best. If something doesn't feel right, it's always reasonable to ask the question.

📍The Newcastle Infant Airway & Feeding Clinic provides assessment for babies and young children with airway and feeding concerns, with Nurse Practitioner assessment, home overnight monitoring (when clinically indicated), and specialist respiratory physician review.

Speak with your GP or paediatrician about a referral.

🚨 If your baby has blue or grey lips, severe difficulty breathing, is too breathless to feed, or has a pause in breathing that worries you, seek urgent medical attention immediately by calling Triple Zero (000)

Dental Health Week | 3–9 August

Did you know your child's dentist may be one of the first healthcare professionals to notice signs of mouth breathing?

Because dentists regularly examine the mouth, teeth and developing jaws, they are often well placed to identify patterns that may be worth discussing with your GP.

Persistent mouth breathing can sometimes be associated with blocked nasal airflow, enlarged tonsils or adenoids, or sleep-disordered breathing. It can also contribute to a dry mouth, which reduces saliva's natural ability to protect teeth.

This Dental Health Week, we're highlighting how dentists, GPs, ENT specialists and paediatric sleep physicians work together to support children's health.

🦷 Why saliva is so important for healthy teeth
👃 Why persistent mouth breathing matters
🤝 When it's worth raising concerns with your GP
💙 How different healthcare professionals work together to support children

If your child regularly breathes through their mouth while sleeping, snores most nights, or wakes with a consistently dry mouth, it's worth mentioning at their next GP or dental appointment.

Sleep Health Week | 3–9 August

Sleep isn't just about getting through the night - it's one of the most important building blocks for a child's health, learning and development.

This week we're sharing practical, evidence-based information from our Paediatric Respiratory & Sleep Medicine team to help families better understand:
🌙 How much sleep children actually need
😴 Why poor sleep doesn't always look like tiredness
💭 Common myths about snoring
👃 Why mouth breathing matters
💬 When it's worth mentioning sleep concerns to your GP

Many sleep problems develop gradually, and the signs can be easy to miss. Sometimes they show up as difficulty concentrating at school, changes in behaviour, irritability, or regular snoring rather than obvious daytime sleepiness.

Our hope is that these posts give parents the confidence to recognise when something is simply part of normal childhood - and when it's worth asking a few more questions!
