Real Talk About Pacifiers: Dr Shereen Lim

We all use them, we all just want to soothe the baby or get the toddler to go to sleep. We dread weaning off the pacifier, or the drama and fits that will ensue when the binkie has to go. We have stashes around the house for emergency use. We are humans! We will have real talk about pacifiers in this episode. We will talk about the long term implications of pacifier use, how they effect growth of the jaws and palate. This episode is to educate, let you make informed decisions, and no judging. The pacifiers push the tongue down and can create a habit of low tongue posture which will encourage the tongue to be lower and not seal to the palate to help naturally widen it. We will also talk about red flags for jaw development, or dental red flags you can look for in kids. Dr Shereen Lim is the author of "Breathe, Sleep, Thrive: Discover how airway health can unlock your child's greater health, learning, and potential". It's available on paperback or kindle. https://www.amazon.com/Breathe-Sleep-Thrive-Discover-potential/dp/0645553212 https://nwmyo.samcart.com/products/munch-bunch-wellness-and-rejuvenation-retreat November 9-12 2023 We would love to invite you to our 1st Annual Munch Bunch Wellness and Rejuvenation Retreat in the Dominican Republic November 9-12.
