Will tongue tie release fix all breastfeeding challenges? Episode 302

How do we know if releasing the tongue or lip frenum will solve breastfeeding problems?

One of the most complex questions and, honestly, a dilemma, is when a parent asks me if they “should” have their infant’s tongue or lip tie released, a procedure known as frenotomy. They want to know if it will be worth it, if it will solve the problems, if it is really going to make a difference for their infant. These are great and necessary questions. Sometimes I wish I had my crystal ball to see into the future for these families and tell them for sure.

But over the years, I have become better at discerning which infants will benefit the most. In this episode, I share you 4 aspects to consider, beyond the typical assessment checklist.
