PSA: Treating a tongue tie is soo much more than just getting it ‘snipped’ 🫣

Where is your baby’s tongue resting when they’re asleep? 👀

Even if their lips are closed, I want to *double* check to make sure their 👅 is suctioned up to the palate! Bc some babies are quite sneaky!🙈

Optimal oral rest posture supports…
✨ nasal breathing
✨ airway health
✨ nervous system regulation
✨ better sleep quality
✨ oral-facial growth and development
✨ feeding

…And so much more! If you’re noticing your baby’s tongue down, try the sleeping tongue posture hold coined by Michelle Emmanuel.

If baby’s tongue is having a hard time getting up or staying up, even with this exercise, there may be an underlying reason for why!

An evaluation with a skilled SLP (👋🏽 that’s me!), OT, or PT specializing in oral motor, feeding, airway and ties could be beneficial.

The sooner we can address it the better! Save this post and try this out the next time your baby’s 😴😴

Does your baby show any of these signs? 🍼👀

Bottle feeding can often be overlooked when it comes to discussing feeding challenges. But babies can and do struggle with bottles too!

These are just a few of the most common signs I see in my practice. And if your baby is showing one or more of them, they would likely benefit from a feeding eval with an LC, speech-language pathologist or occupational therapist!

If you’re in Northern VA, I offer home visits and am currently accepting new clients! Virtual support is also available. Send me a DM to learn more 💛

LMK if you’d like a part 2!

Short answer: toddlers need to hear words many, many, many times before they can start using them on their own.

Talking tip: try to keep your language simple, repeat the key word(s) you’re helping your toddler learn at least 3-5 times in a single interaction, and give a little wait time between each model

For example, let’s take the word “ball,” you may say something like this:

🏀Ball!
🏀Want the ball?
🏀Here’s the ball…
🏀 go ball!

Notice how you can model a word so many times in this one moment and when you add some wait time you give your toddler the opportunity to imitate. If they don’t, no worries! They can hear another model and you can continue the interaction ✨
