Thumb sucking may look harmless, but over time, it can influence the shape of the mouth, jaw, and even how the tongue rests.

But here’s the truth: this isn’t about “bad behavior.” It’s about self-regulation. The child’s body is telling us something, maybe about breathing, sensory needs, or comfort.

Have you ever tried to help your child stop thumb sucking? What worked (or didn’t)? Share your experience below.

If your child’s mealtimes often end in frustration, tears, or food battles, you’re not alone.

Feeding challenges aren’t about stubbornness; they’re about skills.

Outpatient feeding therapy helps children build the oral motor, sensory, and behavioral foundations they need for calm, confident eating.

Small steps lead to big wins, in comfort, safety, and joy at the table. 💛

Save + share this with a parent who’s feeling stuck at mealtime.

Your baby’s not broken, they’re busy growing.

The four-month mark is full of exciting changes: more movement, curiosity, and communication. It’s a season of growth that just looks a little messy.

Parents, how did you survive the four-month stage? Drop your best calming trick below. 👇🏽

If your child only eats a few foods or struggles with meals, it’s not “just a phase.” It’s a signal that something deeper may be going on.

Picky eating can point to oral motor challenges, digestive discomfort, sensory sensitivities, or even pain. The goal isn’t blame, it’s understanding why.

If your toddler is mouth breathing, it’s not just a “habit.” It’s affecting how their jaw grows, how their tongue moves, and how they sleep.

Nasal breathing = stronger airways, clearer speech, better focus, and healthier development.

Save this post if you want to support your child’s airway and speech development the right way. 💙

Low milk supply? It’s not your fault. 💙

There are many factors, hormonal, structural, anatomical, or even baby’s ability to transfer milk, that can affect supply. Most importantly, it’s fixable with the right support.

Please, stop blaming yourself. Get assessed by someone who understands both sides, the parent and the baby.

Have you ever been told your supply was low without real evaluation? Share your experience in the comments, you’re not alone. 👇🏽

Yes, genetics influence how we look, but they’re not the whole story.

We can positively influence jaw and facial development through:
🥕 Chewing real textures
👃 Nasal breathing
👅 Good tongue posture
🗣️ Early oral motor support

Early intervention can help prevent crowding, improve breathing, and support speech development.

Did you know jaw growth could be influenced by the environment?

This isn't about formula shaming; it's about empowering and supporting parents to make informed decisions.

Celebrity endorsements disguised as advocacy prey on parents during a very vulnerable time.

The World Health Organization's Code of Marketing of Breast-Milk Substitutes is in place to protect families from commercial messaging that pretends to be supportive advice. Let's keep the focus on what's best for you and your baby.

Some tips:
✅ Trust your instincts and do your own research before buying.
✅ Seek advice from healthcare professionals rather than celebrities.
✅ Connect with other parents to share experiences and advice.

It's important to remember that every family's journey is unique, and making the best choice for your child is what truly matters

Many bottles are marketed as “breast-like.”

But here’s the truth: a breast changes shape to fit inside a baby’s mouth.

Bottles? It’s the opposite, the mouth conforms to the ni**le.

If your baby does well with a certain bottle, great. But if you’re struggling, remember: expensive marketing doesn’t guarantee a better latch.

Parents, did you ever buy an “ideal for breastfeeding” bottle that didn’t work out? Share your story! 👇🏽

Thanks to a panel of experts, Pediatric Feeding Disorder (PFD) now has a clear definition:

➡️ Impaired oral intake that isn’t age-appropriate
➡️ With dysfunction in domains like nutrition, feeding skills, and psychosocial impact

This shared language improves care, guides therapy, and helps families feel seen.

Have you or someone you know struggled to get feeding therapy approved? Share your experience, this change could make a big difference.

I always tell parents: tube feeding doesn’t mean we stop learning.

Kids can still:
👅 Practice tongue + jaw skills
🍓 Explore flavors in safe ways
💬 Build the foundation for speech

Nutrition stays steady, and skills keep growing. It’s all connected.

Parents, have you ever celebrated a “tiny step” that felt huge in your child’s feeding journey? Share it! 🌟

Did you know that diarrhea can actually be a sign of constipation? 🤯

That’s why it’s so important to observe and talk about p**p. Using visuals like the Bristol Stool Chart makes it easier for kids (and parents!) to describe what’s happening.

What we see in the diaper or the toilet often tells us more than we think.

Have you ever been surprised by what your child’s p**p revealed about their health? Share your story below. 👇🏽
