Consequences of Problems With Sucking as a Baby - with Dr James Thomas
from Body Charge by Elektra Magnesium · host Daniel
Many mothers have experienced the excruciating pain of mastitis from painful breastfeeding, poor latch, clicking and leaking with babies who struggle to do something we had always thought was perfectly natural. Problems with sucking and swallowing are often dismissed as something that just rights itself. However, researchers are finding such unresolved issues can lead to lasting health issues as an adult. My special guest today is Dr James Thomas, a paediatric dentist who discovered that oral dysfunction and passive feeding in infancy set the stage for the breathing, digestion, and developmental issues later. He is the author of the book: Why Babies Suck. https://www.healthlatch.com/why-babies-suck SEO breastfeeding, latching, nipple pain, mastitis, sucking mechanism, sucking dysfunction, tongue ties, lip ties, swallowing problems, digestion, sleep, anxiety, stress, breathing irregularity, breathing dysfunction, narrow palate, crowded teeth, nutritional deficiency, magnesium deficiency, dental decay, pediatric dentist, dr James Thomas
