Holly Allen

In this episode of the Rest Easy Podcast, host Holly sits down with Sarah Beach from Sleepwell Australia and New Zealand to delve into the early signs and symptoms of sleep breathing disorders, such as snoring and sleep apnea. Building on our previous discussion with Dr Karina, Sarah brings a wealth of knowledge on recognising and addressing these issues early on.

Sarah guides us through the critical questions we should be asking and the key indicators to watch for, particularly in children. Did you know that crowded teeth in children can signal potential sleep breathing issues? Sarah explains why this is so important and how early detection can make a significant difference.

Additionally, Sarah sheds light on the impact of feeding methods on jaw development. She discusses how bottle-fed babies' jaws typically don't grow and develop in the same way as breastfed babies due to the different muscles used during feeding.

This is a must-listen episode for parents and caregivers, offering valuable insights into ensuring better sleep health for children. Tune in for a fascinating and informative chat that could make all the difference in your child's well-being.
