421 Myofunctional Therapy for Babies: Early Intervention and Screening Techniques with Leslie Farrin, Heidi Giasson, and Paula Norcott, IBCLC pt1 Feb 07, 2024

Show notes

Today is an interesting discussion because it is foundational to everything that we see as dental professionals. We are talking myofunctional therapy but with babies. I am joined today by Leslie and Heidi again but they also brought in Paula Norcott who works as a lactation consultant. We covered lots of topics and it was such an interesting conversation that we broke it up into two episodes. We talk about what the evaluation looks like, whether the issues are mechanical or anatomical and what is happening causing the issues to arise, we talked about body work and what that means.
