My baby had a tongue tie that was at first incorrectly assessed, but we found help. By that time he was already on a bottle and even with a release he stayed on the bottle. However, I just realized he did have a "bottle blister" when he was super tiny before we had the frenectomy procedure! I'm currently 32 weeks with my next baby and hope to breastfeed without a pump this time. Loving your content, super helpful even after i've watched hours of technique/instruction videos.
That's so wonderful to hear you're finding it helpful! Thanks for taking the time to comment. I offer 1:1 virtual preparation for breastfeeding sessions for couples to debrief their previous difficult breastfeeding journey and make a plan including practical techniques to avoid it happening again. You can send an email to alissa@motherandmilk.co.uk for more information or to book :)
Baby is not able to latch and has high pallett..frenectomy is suggested. How can i get him examined with you? I am not so keen on getting any surgery. Love you're videos! Super helpful
Have you had him assessed by an IBCLC? High palate often comes along with restricted frenulum as the tongue can’t press on the roof of the mouth in utero to flatten and broaden the palate.
Thanks you for responding, baby tongue does touch the roof of the mouth when sleeping ..can I wait a year or 2 before surgery. Will that delay his speech in any way?
Unfortunately I can’t say whether it will impact speech having not assessed myself. Tongue function is incredibly complex and it’s very difficult to predict future problems. At present the decision should be made based on baby’s feeding and if unable to latch at all then I’d suggest you get some support from an IBCLC local to you yo support with this and ensure baby is feeding well. This may mean that frenulotomy is suggested.
@@alissabrownibclcwe had a consultation with certified lactation consultant and she confirmed high palate and suspects posterior tongue tie. If we cut the tie, will it fix breastfeeding issues or because of the high palate we might still have challanges?
It’s impossible to say without examining, although we do know that it’s pressure from the tongue at rest which helps to broaden the palate so by releasing the tongue we do see that high palates can improve over time.
Hello , thank you for the information.. my baby has a good suction but she rest her toung down rather then on palette.. she is 1.5 months old not sure why .. rest she is not having any other symptoms which you mentioned... Could you pls help to know if it will create any issues in future
My baby’s suction is so strong that my nipple is being pulled through the little holes in the nipple shield. And it’s also painful to breastfeed without a shield. Baby has already had a tongue tie clip as well. What do you recommend? I’ve already been to two lactation nurse visits. Love your videos!
Thanks! So this is pretty classic of babies with poor tongue function. A few things to consider - how long ago was the tongue tie cut and have you seen an IBCLC/tongue tie practitioner since then? It is possible for scar tissue to form which further restricts the tongue or sometimes it needs a second deeper cut. Many babies also need suck training exercises to improve tongue function after division. I’ve got a video going up on that this week :!
@@alissabrownibclc thank you! I’m seeing a speech pathologist here shortly. She is the one who finally diagnosed my other child’s tongue tie. Thanks for your videos, they’re great!
Can a tongue tie return??? Had togue tie sorted. Was detected as I had sore and bleeding nipples. Everything calmed down, was going well, but now we have clicking, no deep latch, messy feeds. She ofter even refuses to take the breast. Using nipple shields now, as that got her back on the breast, tried weaning, but without success. 😢
Some babies will develop scar tissue which can mimic the original restriction. Best to go back to the practitioner who released the tie or to your IBCLC for another assessment.
My baby also has toung tie but doctor said to me its not belongs to speaking problems or any kind of issues is it fine or not ? I am little bit confused what i do surgery is necessary for my baby ? But she has no symptoms for delay sleeping or feeding issue....plz guide me
It's best to have tongue function asessed by an IBCLC or a tongue tie practitioner- many general doctors don't have specific training in assessing tongue function. Every case is different, some very restrictive frenula can cause speech issues, most will cause some feeding issues but others don't need to be divided so a specialist assessment would be the best way forward for you.

Without assessing her I can't speak to the extent of any restriction there. Are you having any issues with breastfeeding at the moment?
