Did you know that by age 5, a child’s facial structure is already 85% of its adult size?

This isn’t just an interesting fact — it’s a wake-up call. Craniofacial growth is happening rapidly in the early years, and if it’s going in the wrong direction, waiting to address it can mean missing the window for optimal development.

Many kids show signs of dysfunctional growth patterns early on — mouth breathing, poor sleep, snoring, dark under eyes, crowded teeth — but these red flags are too often dismissed as “normal.”

The truth is: they’re not normal — they’re common. And left unaddressed, they can affect airway health, sleep quality, behavior, and even cognitive development.

That’s why tools like the Fairest-6 — a simple screening tool to catch these signs early, when intervention is most effective and least invasive.

If you’re noticing these signs, don’t wait to ask questions. Depending on the child’s age and symptoms, support may come from:
• An airway-focused pediatric dentist
• A ENT
• A myofunctional therapist
• Or a speech-language pathologist (SLP) trained in oral motor skills and feeding

Early, collaborative care can make all the difference.

We’re excited to kick off 2025!

From August 1–7, we join the global community in celebrating this year’s theme: “Prioritise Breastfeeding – Create Sustainable Support Systems.”

At the Journal of Human Lactation, we believe that sustaining breastfeeding support systems requires more than goodwill—it demands rigorous research, intellectual curiosity, and a commitment to evidence-based action. Scientific inquiry provides the foundation for equitable healthcare, informed policy, and resilient communities.

JHL is proud to publish the research that helps embed breastfeeding into healthcare systems, workplaces, and public policy. Creating and sustaining lasting structures means investing in knowledge, sharing insights, and staying curious.

Join us this by sharing your stories, your science, and your commitment to supporting breastfeeding families worldwide

Has your child had their adenoids and tonsils removed — but is still mouth breathing, or snoring again months later?

You’re not imagining it. And you’re not alone.

A new review highlights why some children continue to struggle, even after surgery.

Orofacial myofunctional therapy (OMT) uses simple, non-invasive exercises to retrain the tongue, lips, and throat muscles to support nasal breathing, better sleep, and healthy facial development.

Here’s what it can help with:

✅ Tongue resting against the palate
✅ Lips staying closed at rest
✅ Throat muscles staying active at night
✅ Nasal breathing and jaw growth

There’s real research that connects the dots.

This is one of the most detailed reviews to date on children with enlarged adenoids and tonsils, especially those with ongoing symptoms after surgery.

If this sounds like your child, this may be a missing piece.
