Some are easy to spot…some are not! That’s why it is important to seek out a trained provider.

We often hear from parents that were told their baby has a “mild tie” and it either won’t cause problems or “they will grow out of it”.

Parents, if your provider is telling you this, and your baby is struggling to eat from breast or bottle, PLEASE seek a second opinion from someone who has received formal training specifically in oral ties and/or infant feeding.

BTW- growing out of a tongue tie is not a thing. 😉

💡 5 Ways Dads Can Support Breastfeeding Without Feeling Left Out
1️⃣ Be the snack hero – She’s feeding the baby, you feed her! Keep water, fruits, or her favorite treat nearby.
2️⃣ Burping duty – After every feed, take over and burp the baby. It’s bonding time for both of you.
3️⃣ Night shift backup – Even if she’s breastfeeding, your help with diaper changes or keeping her awake during feeds matters.
4️⃣ Emotional anchor – Hormones are intense. Remind her she’s doing great, and don’t flinch if she cries mid-feed.
5️⃣ Learn with her – Read up on latch positions, cluster feeding, and milk supply. It’s teamwork, not spectatorship.

🎗️ Dads aren’t just side characters—you're the co-pilot. Your support makes her feel seen, strong, and unstoppable.

I was asked in an interview what one of my biggest challenges is.
My answer was that it is challenging when providers tell parents that their child does not have a tie, when all the symptoms demonstrate otherwise .

This is an example of why this often happens. Unless your provider has received special training in identifying ties, they can be missed, especially posterior tongue ties.

This baby received a labial and lingual frenulum release today.

Here are some of the things we look for when evaluating for labial frenulum ties…(lip ties)

1) Can the lip retract to nose/cover the nares?
2) Is there blanching of the gums with retraction due to a tight frenulum?
3)Is there peeling or cobblestone appearance to the lips?
4) Is there a midline sucking blister?
5) Does the baby have problems feeding/latching?

Not all lips are “tied”, even if there is a thick frenulum noted or a gap in the teeth. A “tie” constitutes a restriction that is causing symptoms.

Give us a call if you are questioning lip or tongue tie in your infant. We would be happy to evaluate him/her for you!
