Tongue ties aren’t just a baby thing!

In toddlers, a tongue can show up in ways you might not expect.

✨ Signs to watch for:
• Speech delays or hard to understand
• Trouble with sounds like t, d, l, r, s, th
• Picky eating or avoiding certain textures
• Gagging, choking, or super messy eating, as well as taking 10000 years to finish a meal (just kidding, kind of)
• Can’t stick tongue out or lift it up
• Mouth breathing, snoring, or restless sleep
• Frustration with eating or communicating

It’s not always obvious and what maybe didn’t impact them much as a baby can absolutely show up in toddler life. Underlying restrictions can still impact speech, feeding, sleep, and development over time 🤍

If something feels off, trust that instinct. Early support can make a huge difference.

Save this for later + share with a mama who needs it 💛

Things you have likely googled recently if you found our page:

• Why is my baby making a clicking noise during feeds?
• Why is my baby colicky and fussy all the time?
• Why do I have sore ni***es?
• Does a tongue tie go away on its own?
• Why does my baby have a white coated tongue?

These can all be signs of a tongue tie, but google can’t diagnose something so multifactorial.

Come see one of our amazing providers and we can let you know! We have an amazing “Wait and Watch” program, myofunctional therapy, and/or Release procedure! It all depends on your INDIVIDUAL child!

🎤 “You get the best of both worlds!”

20 years ago we looked at kids’ health in pieces.
Now we understand how connected everything is! This is why we started doing what we do and why we continue to provide new services at the clinic!

From feeding, to breathing, to nervous system regulation…it all matters.

At Utah Family Wellness, we focus on the root, not just the symptoms.

Because when you support the WHOLE child, everything changes 🤍

We release oral ties AND recommend proper myofunctional therapy for the best result and development for your child!

is one of our favorite tools! We use this prior to releases, post release, or all on its own to help your child’s mouth, jaw, and muscles function properly.

Today we see recessed and underdeveloped jaws due to mouth breathing, soft food diets, poor oral posture and even oral ties! This tool is simple but effective.

Give us a call and we are happy to assess your kiddo and get them the right size!

Join us on Thursdays for Mini Myo! We teach your littles songs that incorporate tricky tongue movements, so they can be doing myofunctional therapy without even knowing it! Compliance in kids 5 and under for regular Myotherapy methods can be challenging, so these group classes are so beneficial! They will be singing it in the car on their own in no time 🎶

Airway health is so important! From birth babies learn the pattern of Suck, Swallow, Breathe. This coordination strengthens muscles in their face, tongue, and jaw which supports airway function. Breastfeeding is a great tool and some of the first “exercise” they do.

If baby does have a tongue tie, affecting this pattern, we can help! Whatever your feeding journey looks like we are here for you and your family 💕

It’s a tiny moment in the movie, but it highlights something important: kids are designed to sleep with their lips closed and breathe through their nose.

Nose breathing helps with:
• better sleep
• proper jaw and facial development
• healthier teeth
• improved oxygen delivery

Sometimes the smallest parenting instincts make the biggest difference. Do you think someone at Disney has a mouth breather at home!? 🤭🤭😉
