Breastfeeding plays a crucial role in a baby’s oral development by promoting proper jaw alignment and muscle development. The natural sucking motion required during breastfeeding helps strengthen the baby’s oral muscles, which can contribute to a more natural alignment of teeth as they grow. Additionally, breastfeeding encourages the development of the hard palate, which may reduce the risk of malocclusion (misaligned teeth) later in life. This early foundation supports healthy oral habits and can have long-term benefits for a child’s dental health.
