Thank you for this Brian. It's something I think of all the time, lately, as we are now down the road of having my 50+ year old husband fitted for a CPAP. His mother attempted to breastfeed him, but the doctor did a visual exam on her milk, and told her it was "as weak as dishwater" and ordered her to the formula bottle. My hubby, in turn, has a weak jaw, crooked squashed together teeth, an underbite, and now severe sleep apnoea. In contrast, my son, 3 years plus, still a hearty breastfeeding child, has now got wide even spaces around all his milk teeth, and a wonderful straight jaw. He shares other facial muscle features with both his father, and grandfather - the appearance of a strong and muscular jaw in our son, fills my hubby with pride over the breastfeeding. And, hopefully, my son will never need the CPAP, his father is awaiting. :-) Morgan Gallagher [log in to unmask] wrote: > How breastfeeding reduces the risk of snoring and obstructive sleep apnea is > the topic I cover in my presentation that was just placed on > Health-e-Learning's website.
