TLDR: oral ties don’t always cause challenges, but they should always be evaluated and supported by competent and informed practitioners 💛🙌🏼

What is the impact of tongue-tie and upper lip-tie on sucking function in newborns?

Using ultrasound imaging and other evaluation tools, this comparative observational study with short-term follow-up included 67 newborns (25 with tongue-tie, 21 with upper lip-tie, and 21 controls) and their mothers.

The results? Tongue-tie and upper lip-tie do not always lead to observable breastfeeding problems. Ultrasound imaging offers valuable insights into subtle sucking dysfunctions not captured by clinical assessment.

I have several in stock if you are interested in purchasing before baby arrives! Great to add to your hospital bag before you go into labour. Also a wonderful option for supporting skin to skin at home with your newborn 👶🏻 🦘

Public Health is a wonderful resource! They have nurses, home visitors, and other allied health professionals who can support you during pregnancy and postpartum 💙💚

Your baby was born knowing when to eat and when to stop. Responsive feeding is about tuning into those natural cues. You’re not spoiling your baby by feeding them when they’re hungry, and you’re not wasting food when they’ve had enough. You’re helping them grow lifelong skills — one feeding at a time.

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗸 𝗳𝗼𝗿:

When your baby starts showing signs of hunger, like becoming more alert, rooting or turning toward you, they’re asking for care and connection. When they slow down, turn away, or lose interest, they’re letting you know they’ve had enough.

𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗶𝘁 𝗺𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀:

Honouring these moments teaches your baby that they can trust their body, and their caregiver. Over time, this builds healthy eating patterns, body awareness, selfregulation, and a positive relationship with food.

𝗣𝘂𝗯𝗹𝗶𝗰 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵 𝗡𝘂𝗿𝘀𝗲𝘀 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗵𝗲𝗹𝗽:

Public Health Nurses offer a variety of supports to help with infant feeding, including learning your baby’s cues and developing techniques for long-term success.
