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. :-)
