Follow @_momify for baby care advice and join WhatsApp channels now for 7 day trial Thumb sucking, pacifiers, and prolonged bottle feeding all cause similar oral development issues. Mechanics: • These habits maintain constant pressure on the teeth, gums, and palate. • The thumb or nipple pushes the upper front teeth and palate forward, while the lower jaw stays back. • The tongue learns an abnormal resting position, disrupting natural swallowing and breathing patterns. Effects: • Dental deformities: Open bite, crossbite, protruding upper teeth, and misaligned jaws. • Palatal change: The roof of the mouth becomes narrow and high-arched. • Speech impact: Lisping and delayed articulation due to poor tongue placement. • Jaw growth: Unbalanced muscle activity slows lower jaw development. • Ear infections and mouth breathing become more common. Recommendation: • Discourage pacifiers and bottles beyond 12–18 months. • Stop thumb sucking by age 3–4 before permanent teeth erupt. • If habit persists, consult a pediatric dentist for habit-breaking techniques or oral appliances. #babycare #newmom #viral #momsofinstagram #pediatrics #momifycare #dentalcare #babypacifier
