🚨 BEEN TOLD YOUR BABY HAS A TONGUE TIE? READ THIS BEFORE YOU CONSIDER A RELEASE! 👅🤍

Hearing the words “Your baby has a tongue tie” can leave you feeling overwhelmed, confused and wondering what to do next.

But here’s something every parent needs to know…

Just because your baby has a frenulum doesn’t automatically mean they need a tongue tie release.

What really matters is FUNCTION. 👅

How well can your baby move their tongue? Is the restriction affecting their ability to latch, suck, transfer milk or feed comfortably?

🤍 Before making a decision, here's what you need to understand:

✨ What a tongue tie actually is — and what it isn't.

✨ The signs that a tongue tie may be affecting your baby's feeding.

✨ What a thorough, functional assessment should include.

✨ When a frenotomy (tongue tie release) may be considered.

✨ What to explore before deciding on treatment.

Your baby deserves more than a quick look under their tongue. They deserve a thorough assessment, evidence-informed advice and a plan tailored to their feeding needs.

If your baby has been diagnosed with a tongue tie, take the time to understand your options before deciding on the next step. You deserve to feel informed, supported and confident in your decisions. 🤍

Nobody warns you about this part of motherhood, but she will remember it forever.

Long after the sleepless nights fade, a woman will always remember how she was held through the hardest transition of her life.

To the partners, family members, and friends supporting a new mother: sometimes she doesn't need another piece of advice or someone to "fix" it.

She just needs to feel seen, understood, and safe when her world feels completely upside down.

Let's normalize checking in on the mother just as much as we check on the baby.💬

🚨 YOUR BABY'S TONGUE TIE HAS BEEN RELEASED… NOW WHAT? 👅🤍

The procedure is over, but your baby's feeding journey isn't necessarily finished!

If your baby has just had a tongue tie release, you might be wondering:

👶 Will breastfeeding improve straight away?
👅 Does my baby need stretches?
🤱 What if feeding gets worse before it gets better?
❤️ How do I know if the release has actually worked?

Here's what every parent needs to know:

A tongue tie release is just one part of the journey.

Your baby may need time, support and help learning to use their tongue in a new way. And sometimes, feeding challenges don't disappear overnight.

✨ That's where the right aftercare and skilled breastfeeding support can make all the difference.

Don't navigate the recovery alone. Understanding what to expect can help you feel more confident and supported as you and your baby adjust.
