A lot of providers absolutely suck when it comes to dealing with tongue-tie…
…And yes, that includes lactation consultants too.
Whether you suspect your baby might have a tongue-tie or have already gotten a diagnosis, you need actionable, realistic guidance & support that will get you through the stress and onto better feeding.
You need a provider who will:
Thoroughly look at your baby to identify ALL possible factors leading to stressful or painful feeding
Provide situation-specific support for breast/chest & bottle feeding. Your situation is unique and you need personalized support.
Offer non-judgemental information on your options so you can make the best choice for you and your family
Teach you at-home activities and strategies you can do prepare for a release & avoid poor outcomes like feeding aversion
Coach you on latch, position, & feeding modifications to make feeding safe until a release or until weaning if you choose to not release
Provide clarity & guidance to help you wade through all the bad information & advice you’ve certainly heard
Teach you at-home activities you can do to help improve your baby’s feeding skills post-release
Closely follow your baby’s progress and not leave you hanging before feeding is safe, effective, comfortable, and manageable enough for you to reach your feeding goals
… And that’s just the bare minimum of the level of support you deserve
Having worked with hundreds families across the world in a similar situation as you - stressed, overwhelmed, discouraged, & at wit’s end with how challenging feeding is for your baby- I know exactly how to provide you with the support you need to feel confident again (or for the first time ever with this whole feeding thing).
More importantly, I have the skills & experience to help your baby improve their feeding skill & I can’t wait to teach you!
