Did you know the Association of Breastfeeding Medicine recently released a new position statement on tongue tie?

They made it clear that in order to determine a tongue tie is causing feeding difficulties a breastfeed MUST be observed, alongside taking a maternal history and performing an oral assessment of the baby.

All 3 of these information pieces are important and should be carefully undertaken before a frenulotomy is considered.

It’s why IBCLCs and frenulotomists should work as a team when supporting breastfeeding families. Both bring different skills.

The common goal is, of course, wanting to improve breastfeeding, we should also be united in only releasing a tongue tie when it is truly necessary and clinically indicated.

By watching a breastfeed it may be breastfeeding can be improved with limited intervention meaning surgery is avoided.

Dear friends and followers,

If you take note of any post on my page, please make it be this one.

I was reading 's book last night: Why Breastfeeding grief and trauma matter, and this paragraph actually made me say "Wow" out loud. THIS sums up a lot of new mum's (parents') struggles today.

What does "good" even mean? My new born daughter isn't out in society breaking the law, does that make her good? She's inside having cuddles with her parents because she's having a little trouble getting to sleep, does that make her bad?

If, as a society, we can conquer this, imagine the difference it would make to those new parents ❤️

For any of those interested in women's health, infant feeding and post natal recovery, this book is a MUST read! Thank you Amy!
