As a parent of an infant or toddler everything is new and different, and sometimes parents can feel unsure as to how to best handle a particular situation. Which is why hundreds of baby specialists have cropped up over the years.
The first expert that joins me on the show is Shari Green, known as The Thumb Lady (www.thumblady.com). She is a certified Orafacial Myologist and has worked as a Pediatrician Dental Hygenist for 19 years. And yes her specialty is helping kids to stop sucking their thumbs, fingers and quit biting their nails, among other oral habits!
In the past 11 1/2 years she has worked with close to 1000 children helping them to break these habits. If you can believe it, she is one of 250 Orafacial Myologists in the world. Her website has a wealth of information if your child is 4 or 5 and is still sucking his thumb, and she shares what the risks are if it becomes a prologed situation.
Then later in the show I catch up with Renee Applebaum who is co-founder and co-owner of Baby Proofers Plus, a child safety company based in the NJ/NY area. (www.babyproofersplus.com) Renee and her husband Howard became pioneers on the east coast in 1993 when they began offering comprehensive in-home safety evaluations and professional installation services of the highest quality, government tested certified safety products.
They are experts in providing education and awareness to new parents, and helping to reveal hidden dangers that may lurk in their home which could put their baby at risk. You can also find a Baby Proofer or Pool Fence installer in your area by going to the website www.babyproofingdirectory.com and enter your zip code.
