Friendly reminder to check your babys tongue position at rest. Optimal oral rest posture ensures nasal breathing, palate stimulation&formation, facial growth, airway development, sleep health and more! Oral rest posture looks like a gently closed jaw, fully elevated tongue thats suctioned on the palate, and closed lips. Optimal oral rest posture=optimal health! Tension, tight or short frenums (tethered oral tisssues/tongue ties/oral restrictions) excessive pacifier use, and low tone are a few reasons a baby may maintain a low tongue position. Occupational therapy addresses the root cause of dysfunction and helps your baby improve oral motor skills for optimal health and development!
