✨ Have you heard of lip and tongue ties being a “fad” ?!✨
What is NOT a fad is optimal function and oral motor development.
In babies that have a lip and or tongue tie, a lot of times a corresponding challenge is torticollis and these can make feeding incredibly challenging. So you may ask, well why did the revision not happen when my mom was breast feeding and having challenges? It comes down to knowledge from pediatric providers and a parent knowing that feeding should not be a challenging experience! This is also from a generation that was told to “toughen up” their ni***es prior to breast feeding, when in fact breast feeding is not supposed to be a painful experience.
Are you having challenges feeding your little one at either the breast or bottle? Or are they displaying difficulties in chewing foods? These are all areas that I can help with!
