Ever wonder why some babies have deep, harsh, raspy, or "crowded" sounding voices? In this episode Ellen and Adina explore the "Pterodactyl Babies" -- why their voice sounds that way and what it means about their body posture and their suck habits.

A few weeks after her tongue tie release, Ellen tells us about which effects of the release remain and which have dissipated with time. We segway into conversations about post-frenotomy work for infants as well as the power of mindful movement on the fascial system.

Ellen tells us all about the marked changes she felt in her face, mouth, suck, and body after the release of her posterior tongue tie.

A trip to the zoo prompts Adina and Ellen to ponder jaw structure, nipple length, suck mechanics, body mechanics, and all the different types of lactation we see in mammals.
