Snorts, wheezes, hiccups, grunts—babies make a lot of strange sounds, especially when they breathe. In this episode, we decode the mystery of “funny breathing” in infants and help you figure out what’s normal, what’s not, and when it’s time to worry.

Join Omega Pediatrics as they explain the fascinating (and often noisy) world of newborn breathing. Whether it’s noisy nighttime sniffles or fast, shallow breaths, we help you cut through the panic and focus on what matters most: your baby’s comfort and safety.

Listen in for:

• Why babies breathe differently than adults
• Common harmless breathing patterns (and why they happen)
• Red flags every parent should know
• When to call the doctor—or head to the ER
• Why trust and observation go hand-in-hand in early parenting

This one’s for: New parents, grandparents, anxious caregivers, and anyone who’s leaned in close at 2 a.m. wondering, “Is that normal?”

Let’s face it—babies come in all shapes and sizes, and so do their heads. In this episode, we take on one of the most common (and quietly stressful) questions parents ask: Is my child’s head normal?

From flat spots to funny shapes, Omega Pediatrics demystifies cranial development in infants and toddlers. We’ll explore when to chill out, when to take action, and what pediatricians are really looking for during those head checks. Plus, we break down terms like "plagiocephaly" and "fontanelles" in plain language—because peace of mind should never be complicated.

Tune in for:

• What causes head shape concerns—and what doesn’t
• Why tummy time is more than just a trend
• How pediatricians evaluate skull development
• When helmets, specialists, or imaging come into play
• The power of early intervention—and reassurance

Great for: New parents, curious caregivers, and anyone who’s ever stared at a baby’s head and thought, “Hmm…”
