Feeding & Airway

When feeding and airway conditions are properly addressed, a child’s sleep patterns can often improve organically.

Poor sleep is often a symptom

Approximately 80% of the sleep issues I see with the families I work with are related to sleep science (schedules, wakeful windows, overtiredness), and parenting (how we respond, routines).

However, the remaining 20% are often related to underlying medical issues, which can cause poor sleep in babies and toddlers.

What am I talking about?

Reflux

Obstructive sleep apnea

Poor latch

Lip/tongue ties

Food intolerances

Asthma

And more.

ALL can indirectly influence sleep in our little ones and when addressed by the appropriate specialists, have the potential to improving sleep organically.
