I can't wait to love my future son, and I'm going to make sure the world loves him too.
Infancy:
1: Prioritizing nasal breathing/tongue posture
Let me know if I'm missing anything important.
Infancy:
1: Prioritizing nasal breathing/tongue posture
- Keeping nasal passages clear, gently using saline and a suction tool
- Closing his lips when he's sleeping
- Breastfeeding. It naturally promotes tongue posture, if breastfeeding is out of the question for some reason a wide-based bottle may be enough.
- Checking for Ankyloglossia (tongue tie). Shouldn't be an issue for my son, but I'll still keep in mind
- Use orthodontic pacifier so the tongue has room. Decrease pacifier use around 6 months and phase it out by 12 months if possible
- Build neck and shoulder strength with tummy time for proper posture/jaw alignment. also helps skull development.
- Alternate sides that the baby is held and fed for equal muscle development and to reduce the possibility of skull flatness
- Tummy time, as stated before
- Soundproofing/light blocking for uninterrupted sleep (HGH/deep sleep yap yap yap, if you're reading this you probably are already aware.)
- Transitioning to solid foods as soon as it's appropriate
- Encourage sports and active hobbies (obvious. Always using sunscreen. Also good for social skills)
- Healthy diet, probably enough to keep the kid slightly chubby.
- Monitor posture and correct as needed (obvious, cringe anime sitting posture)
- No IPad/handheld devices. TV will be allowed but limited.
- Sinus issues run through my family, so I'll have to consult with an ENT around age 4 to see if anything will need to be corrected. You should be aware of any genetic imperfections that your family has and minimize them.
- Healthy habits should already be established. Just keep monitoring.
- Monitor snoring (warning sign of issues that could minimize proper development
- Enforce proper hygiene.
- Put a stop to any bad habits (nose picking, eye rubbing etc)
- Introduce resistance training. If he hates it, encourage functional strength sports.
- Keep encouraging posture, as the kid will likely find an interest in computer and mobile device shit
- Monitor growth spurts for scoliosis. Unlikely, but you never know.
- Prioritize proper nutrition and sleep. (obvious)
- Teach him proper skincare
- Monitor orthodontic and jaw health
- Impact and resistance training/sports for bone development.
- Ensure nutrition goals are met
- Introduce him to minoxidil, tell about the dangers of 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors for development before age 25. (is probably gonna be outdated by then but I'm putting it here anyways.)
- He'll probably be a monarch at this point so..... yeah my job is done
