The Importance of Breastfeeding for Facial Development
Breastfeeding plays a crucial role in the optimal development of a child's facial structure and airway. The act of breastfeeding encourages lateralization movements, which help to widen the jaws and premaxilla, subsequently shaping the sinuses for better airway function. Contrary to advice suggesting mothers stop breastfeeding, this natural process is fundamental for growing a well-formed face and preventing numerous health problems. The physical mechanics of breastfeeding not only support dental health but also contribute to improving overall respiratory health.
