Binkies

The new SUIDS research is based on belly sleeping infants.

Yes, it is better than sleeping a newborn on their belly without a binky.

A DIY nasopharyngeal airway kit would make it even safer.

Both are options I would pass on.

Yup

Never use em. They are an arse pain.

I've talked with dcm about the speech delay, she doesn't seem to be concerned and hasn't had him evaluated. I do feel this little guy's speech delay isn't just because of the binkie. He talks a lot, but it isn't clear, or real words. I'm sure it is something more complex. Mom and her pedi have been watching it, but no eval yet.

My nephew also talked alot but the words were not clear, it was because he need his hearing checked. He spoke the way he heard, muffled. Once he got tubes in his ears he spoke clearly.
