Hello, Yes, there is a connection or the prone belly syn Chat Doctor.  And this needs to be corrected by the help of a pediatric Physiotherapist. As some simple muscle activation techniques which are focused towards the respiratory muscles can help reduce the symptoms. Also, you should even make an effort that the child shouldn't get any illness in connection to the lungs like cold, cough etc. Hope I have answered your query.
