thank you for explaining the background of thumb sucking + and how to treat it, using a more organic approach. This really helps. Also, to use feeding as it relates to it. I never looked at it as something that enlarges the airway, I always thought it was just soothing, thanks, again.
Sincerely,
ZHasan SLP
