Do you feel lip ties rarely need to be revised? After binging your videos Im wondering if my cracked nipples and mastitis isnt related to the lip tie (we got tongue revised and ent i went to. doesnt like to do lips) Love your videos! Youre the best lactation consultant on youtube!
More Lactation Consultants and HCPs should pay heed to The Academy of Breastfeeding Medicine Protocol on Ankyloglossia. Lip, buccal and posterior “tie are not recommended to be revised. Anterior sun-lingual tight frenulums that impair feeding, growth or milk supply do need to be revised. I’ll link here. www.bfmed.org/assets/Anklyloglossia%20position%20statement%202021.pdf
It applies as being far too often being told it's a problem and it isn't. The lips function to seal to the breast not at all involved with milk transfer and not related to nipple pain.
@@DoneNaturally when would a lip tie be a problem? Wouldn’t not being able to seal to the breast cause taking in air thus baby being gassy and spitting up more then usual?
@@anisleidycompaniony3864 In severe cases the baby would never be able to stay attached. Constant on/off every time. So much so that they can’t feed to get enough milk on their own without pumping/bottle.
Is Thrush a sign of tongue tie or lip tie? Baby is 2 months and has thrush from many weeks. mother and baby had thrush treatment as well but no improvements.
Hi Summer! I was wondering about the safety of wearing clear aligners like the ones from the smile direct club or Invisalign and breastfeeding. They are pretty common now and they have to be worn 22 hours a day. They are made of Polyethylene Terephthalate "Pet-G" and Duran Material. I know you mentioned breast milk comes from blood, but I wasn’t sure if after me being in contact with those materials all day then they will get in the breast milk? Thank you!
My baby was revised at a week old via laser it didn’t help at all. I have cracked, bleeding nipples. What helps with that besides aftercare (silverettes, creams Etc.) I’d like to have comfortable nursing sessions. I’ve done the deep latch Etc. She’s seeing an SLP for oral weakness. I’ve seen lots of people for this issue. 3 lactation consultants, cranialsacral therapy, and SLP. It’s still not corrected for me. I think she transfers okay. The lactation consultant came and did a weighted feed and she transferred 2 ounces. But she was very hungry when she came and she usually falls asleep within 5 minutes of feeding and doesn’t get to both breasts. I’ve already had one clogged duct.
my baby is 7 1/2 weeks old but was born 6 weeks premature. i have a large milk supply, but when i put her to breast she only takes about 8mL in 15 minutes. her bottle feeding is 80mL. could it be a tongue tie causing this, or the fact that she's premature?
Prematurity for sure is a player. A born 31weeker will likely not be capable at the strength needed to breastfeed well until past due date. Bit they'll bottle well bc they don't have to do much work at all to draw milk out like they do at the breast. Without seeing a feeding and seeing function we won't be able to talk about Tongue Tie. Because we have to observe.

Are top lip blisters common for a newborn?
@@isabelleklais6283 all 3 of my boys had a sucking blister. They all grew well, and I had no pain.
Does this also apply to lip ties?

Not typically a mutually exclusive thing.

There is not a concern.

Oh bless. I’m so sorry you are having such a challenging time. 😖💛
