How to care for Your Baby's Mouth 6 to 12 months
In order to survive and thrive we need four things for our body Oxygen, Water, Nutrition and Sleep. All of these things start with our mouth and our nose.
We treat our mouth and nose like isolateds parts of our body, the truth is if we want to be in the best possible health... our mouth, nose and teeth are a great place to start to live a healthy happy life. So why not start caring for our mouth and our nose as soon as we are born?
Our mouth is the gateway into our body and if we are not breathing correctly and our mouth has disease we are not as healthy as we think. Our apple watches even tell us to breathe. Our teeth are the strongest surface and our tongue is the strongest muscle in our body and we put them last on our to-do list to care for.
Sucking and chewing are required for nursing and help develop the facial muscles and stimulate stem cell growth for stronger bones and a better airway. A few hundred years ago Mother breastfed till a toddler was 2-5 years old sometimes longer it is frowned upon today. The longer a child spent chewing and sucking the better their airways, jaw and facial muscles developed. We had a lower incidence of snoring, grinding, crooked teeth , ADHD and sleep apnea.
We do not give much thought to how we breathe. We usually don’t even check to see how our kids are breathing until there is a problem. So let's start with breathing.
Your baby can't even breathe through their mouth until they are 3 Months old. So keeping their nose clear is very important. I recommend Xlear with xylitol.
If your baby, infant or toddler begins to breathe through the mouth their flight or flight system is activated. The body thinks it is in an emergency state.
