DIVING DEEP into the things parents are constantly told “not to worry about”, like pacifiers, thumb sucking, mouth breathing, snoring, and chronic ear infections AND MORE. In this eye opening conversation, I’m joined by Dr. Ben Miraglia to unpack how jaw development, airway health, breathing, and sleep are all deeply connected in babies and toddlers. We talk about the early signs parents often miss, the well-meaning advice that can delay real support, and what moms can do now if something feels off, without spiraling or overreacting. This episode will completely change how you look at sleep struggles, oral habits, and the phrase “they’ll grow out of it.” In this episode, we cover: Why jaw development matters big time for kidsHow jaw growth, breathing, and sleep are deeply connectedWhat causes mouth breathing in kids?How sleep issues can be linked to jaw and airway developmentThe role pacifiers, bottles, and thumb sucking play in jaw growthHow solid foods and chewing can support healthy jaw developmentWho parents should talk to first when they’re concernedWhat to do today if your baby or toddler snores, mouth breathes, or sleeps poorlyWhat ToothPillow is, how it works, and which kids it’s designed to help---------------------------------------------------------------------------- IMPORTANT LINKS •✨ Join our Mom Club on Patreon HERE ✨ 👈🏼 •Truly Free Home- Toxin Free Laundry Detergent and Cleaning Supplies HERE ◦ Use Code LEARNINGTOMOM for 30% off!
