Why does Breastfeeding Matter for Airway & Breathing?

Breastfeeding success or challenges can be symptomatic of underlying problems with structure and function of airway.

In this episode, Lisa shares her unique perspective as a midwife, lactation consultant and airway advocate discussing concepts such as:

* The controversy of suggesting that breastfeeding is a biological imperative

* Why most families don't reach their breastfeeding goals

* The formula monopoly and control of education of health care workers (yes, I'm going there)

* Paradigm shift: Benefits of breastfeeding vs risk of formula feeding

* Connecting dots between infant SIDS and adult sleep disordered breathing.

* Research studies vs clinical experience

* Bottles, pacifiers and connection to airway disorders

* The important work of Dr. Brian Palmer
