How long should my baby be using a pacifier? What if my toddler is still thumb-sucking? Does this affect my child's speech and dental development? 

Research now shows that all these aspects shape our entire health profile as we grow older - from speech to breathing, how well we sleep, and even our mental health.

In this podcast we are joined by two experts - paediatric dentist, Dr Farah Seedat, and Janay-Alexander Gilchrist, a qualified clinical hypnotherapist and breathing method practitioner.

Brought to you by Epi-max Baby & Junior – our family, for your family. Also supported by Jacaranda 94.2.
