When using the aerochamber with mask, my baby inhales only through his nose and not through his mouth, is this ok?

Metered dose inhaler for baby Good baby of 7 months, has pumps following a virus. I have an air chamber with mask. I notice that my baby inhales only through his nose and not through his mouth. Is this correct or should he inhale through his mouth as well.

Good morning, ma'am,

Yes, it's okay as long as you see the back and forth movement of the little flap that indicates the child's breathing.

Sincerely
