Your baby is struggling to feed. Sleeping in short stretches. Reflux that won't quit.
You've been told it's normal. You've tried everything. And something still feels off.
What if the answer has been in your baby's mouth this whole time?
In Part 2 of this Candid Conversation series, I sit back down with Dr. Lynda Dean-Duru and Dr. Krystle Dean-Duru — board-certified pediatric dentists and airway-centered care pioneers — to talk about one of the most underrecognized connections in infant health: tongue-tie, feeding, and sleep.
Here's what we're getting into:
- How oral restrictions like tongue-tie and lip-tie affect not just feeding — but sleep, reflux, and the way your baby's airway develops from the very start.
- Why some babies continue to struggle with sleep even after a frenectomy — and what is often missing from the care plan that nobody tells parents about.
- What every parent needs to understand about timing, laser procedures, and aftercare before making any decisions.
- And perhaps most importantly — how the way your baby feeds in that first year quietly shapes their facial growth, their breathing patterns, and their sleep for years to come.
This is the conversation I wish every new parent could have before their baby's first month.
