Have you heard of ICON? This week is ICON week…

ICON is a simple but powerful message to help caregivers cope with infant crying, it stands for:

I is for Infant crying is normal
C is for Comforting methods can help
O is for It's OK to walk away
N is for Never, ever shake a baby

And the ‘O’ is really important when you’re feeling overwhelmed.

If crying feels too much, it’s OK to put your baby in a safe place and walk away for a few minutes until you feel calm.

After a few minutes, when you’re feeling calm, go back and check on baby.

Not being able to stop a baby crying does not mean you are doing anything wrong. Remember this will pass – the crying will stop.

If you need support, please reach out via your GP or health visitor. In the Cheshire West & Chester area, you can contact a health visitor via a call to your nearest Children’s Centre (contact details on the ’Starting Well’ website).

And, of course, if you need help with feeding or suspect a tongue-tie, we’re here for you.

Here’s a summary of the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) guidance:

✅ Many factors influence breastfeeding, and support from someone with specialist knowledge is very important

✅ NICE has decided that the tongue-tie division procedure is safe enough and appears to work well enough

✅ Parents or carers should understand what is involved and agree (consent) to the treatment

✅ A healthcare professional should discuss the benefits and risks of the procedure with you before you agree to it

✅ The procedure should be carried out by registered healthcare professionals who have been trained to do it

✅ The results of the procedure should be monitored

➡️ The procedure may also be used to help with bottle feeding but the NICE guidance does not cover this

And how we ensure we meet this guidance at TTNW:

✔️ We are Lactation Consultants able to holistically assess feeding issues

✔️ If tongue-tie division is indicated, we are fully qualified to carry out the procedure safely; however, we only ever proceed with informed consent based on an understanding of the potential benefits and risks

✔️ Aftercare and follow-up is included in our treatment package, which allows us to monitor you and baby following the procedure

If you have any questions about tongue-tie division, please get in touch.

The ni***es might not work but partners can help in so many ways!

Just a few ways partners can support feeding:

◆ Providing practical help like preparing food & drinks
◆ Taking on household chores
◆ Offering emotional support & encouragement
◆ Listening to their partner's feelings
◆ Acting as a "gatekeeper" to limit visitors
◆ Bond with the baby through bathing, play and skin to skin

What was the most important way your partner supported you?

And we know that not everyone has a partner for support, so please reach out to friends, families and professionals - don’t struggle alone.

Well, this woodcut of a physician dividing a newborn’s frenulum dates back to 1679, so no!

Although tongue-tie correction was an established treatment as far back as the 1600s (as this woodcut shows), treatment became less common with the invention of formula and the rise in bottle feeding around the middle of the last century.

However, as breastfeeding rates have risen again, there’s a corresponding increase in the number of women seeking help with feeding issues, including tongue-tie.

And if you need help with feeding issues, however you’re feeding your baby, we’re here for you.

What the research actually tells us about tongue-tie division…

Both independent research and review studies that pull together the available evidence show that a whole range of breastfeeding outcomes improve after tongue-tie division.

More specifically, research shows that tongue-tie division can:

◆ Reduce breastfeeding difficulty
◆ Improve breastfeeding self-efficacy (belief in your ability to succeed)
◆ Improve infant latch
◆ Relieve maternal pain
◆ Relieve infant reflux

Of course, we only perform tongue-tie division after an assessment of the benefits for you and your little one but the research confirms that - when it’s indicated - tongue-tie division can significantly improve the breastfeeding journey.
