Episode 122 Why Didn't a Tongue Tie Release Magically Fix Breastfeeding?

Did you have a tongue tie procedure and expect for your breastfeeding experience to feel different? Were you disappointed to discover that it didn’t get better, and in fact, in some ways it felt worse? Why is this the case? IBCLC (and tongue tie parent) Lo Nigrosh talks about why tongue tie recovery is not as cut and dry as snipping a frenulum.
On this episode you will hear:

• The various scenarios Lo notices continued difficulty with feeding even after frenectomy
• Why tongue tie can’t be diagnosed and treated within the first couple of days of a baby’s life
• The difficulty in the United States with getting families the help they deserve
• Reassurance that you are doing the best you can
