Another sign could be that feedings take a LONG time as baby's tongue and jaw get tired as the feed goes on, the lactating parent may also notice a DROP in supply. Have you experienced any of these things? Did you get help?
@@Purplecheque Great question.I recommend finding a lactation consultant in your area to work with (hopefully one who has experience with oral ties) and ask the lactation consultant for recommendations on specialists in your area who do the assessment and procedure to correct oral ties. This could be a pediatric dentist or Ear Nose and Throat specialist. You could also ask your pediatrician for recommendations...but if you are noticing all the signs, it would be best to work with an LC. Best of luck! Keep us posted.
I got my baby's tongue tie removed at two weeks as I would cry everytime I had to feed my baby Which was mostly the whole day 8x a day. I hoped to get some changes after the treatment however he still doesn't latch properly and my nipple comes out as a lipstick shape or either pressed into a thin shape. I've tried everything in the book and watched videos visited lactation consultation but it's not working as even at 5 weeks now when I do try to push him onto my nipple when I'm holding it into a c shape he pushes back or starts getting fussy and it gets really painful for me. Is there anything more I can do
Could you make a video about upper lip tie? My baby had a tongue tie but got it clipped in hospital but he also has an upper lip tie and does not have a good latch
I wish I saw this video with my last baby. She had a fairly bad upper lip tie and we had almost all of the symptoms. Her midwife, her pediatrician, and her dentist all said it was fine because she was off-the-charts for height and weight and was otherwise extremely healthy. She was my 5th and I knew how to push through. Fast-forward to a year and a half and she had multiple cavities on her upper teeth. Not wanting to put her under, a dental hygienist applied silver diamine fluoride for us and now her top teeth are black next to the gum line, but the cavities are arrested, for now. It just looks horrible. A month ago, she slipped on steps at an indoor playground and landed on her upper lip. After wiping away a little blood, I saw that the fall separated her tie. Ever since then, her latch has drastically improved! Please keep posting content like this. It is needed.
Oh my gosh!! Would you believe my own daughter fell on her second birthday and broke her lip tie too. After two years I did notice a difference in her latch. Thank you for sharing your story and for the positive feedback on the video. I feel for your little girl. I am sure you are thankful that kiddos come with two sets of teeth 💜💕
My 2nd child had a tongue/lip tie, got the surgery done and we received no post op care or exercises to do. I just learned that there should be some from the lactation specialist I’m seeing for my 3rd child who also has a tongue/lip tie. I will say that getting the surgery done improved my 2nd child’s speech tremendously.
In the first 3-5 days I had blistered / cracked nipples and I used balm and breast discs to help them heal after each feeding. I didn’t change anything I was doing or her latch… I was careful from the start. Once the scabs came off we were fine. Baby never had any weight issues either - in fact out more than average weight on. This leads to my question, did my nipples just have to get used to the sucking and the skin become tougher? Because I really didn’t change anything and I’ve not had nipple pain since? My baby does have a mild posterior tongue tie and lip tie which at 10 weeks we were recommended to have fixed….
Did you ever get it fixed? Sounds just like my baby and I , I’m nearly 4 weeks pp and after healing my nipples, I no longer feel pain when latching either! Occasionally there is clicking. I really don’t want to get her tongue tie revised. Her pediatrician also says hardly anyone in our area would be willing to do a revision anyways.
Just wanted to say thank you for your work here. This is so helpful. I wish all moms would get this kind of support at the first place ❤big thank you!!!
Hi! I experience a few of the things you mentioned but not throughout the feeding...only occasionally. Does that still indicate a potential tongue tie?
If you experience any of these signs it could indicate a tie. Working with a team including an IBCLC (lactation consultant) and a provider who specializes in oral restrictions could be helpful. I hope things are going well for you.
We got told baby boy has a posterior tongue tie that the pediatric dentist said didnt need work done because he is able to move his tongue. She said it was up to us if we wanted to get it foxed but didnt have to. Now im regretting not getting it done. We did do cheek & lip ties. His latch is shallow & doesnt open mouth wide enough
The only one my baby and I are struggling with is the nipple crease. Is there a reason other than tongue tie that she is hurting and creasing my nipple? Maybe just a bad latch?
Hi ladies! I've asked about a tongue/lip tie with my midwives and they says she looks good! She is able to stick her tongue out of her mouth and they say that is an indicator she doesn't have a tie. However, baby has lots of clicking during feeding, comes on and off the breast and is taking in lots of air. Could a tongue lip tie still be possible? Or could it be something else?
Hi Lisa! It is definitely still possible that it could be related to ties or it could be related to milk supply, I would recommend having a lactation consultant who knows about ties ( tethered oral tissues/ TOTS) observe a feeding and evaluate your baby’s mouth. Then if needed follow up with a trained pediatric dentist/ as recommended by your LC. Congratulations on your baby 😍
Hi Grandma here 😊 I Breastfed all children and was also a LLL leader Thanks so much for your videos!! Was a huge help for moms!! My daughter has a 12 week old she has been nursing and getting ready to return to work by pumping and bottle feeding. Her baby boy has had a hard time with lots of reflex after feeding and mom has been getting multiple plugged ducts. (Also he takes a very long time to eat and often gets tired and falls asleep) They said he had a tongue tie after he was born . My question is at 12 weeks and gaining weight (low percentile) Is this a problem? Or not? Thanks I’d love your feedback
Hello, it is so awesome that you are able to support your daughter in this way. sorry I am just getting back to you on this. It certainly sounds like the tongue tie could be affecting feeding and causing some of the longer feeding times and possibly clogged ducts from ineffective emptying of the breast. If your daughter hasn't done so already, she may want to work closely with a team of and IBCLC and a pediatric dentist or ENT who specialize in oral restrictions. Wishing your family the best!
My baby is 2 months old and the paediatrician says he has tongue tie. He was so gassy today and in so much pain that I cried just witnessing it. Usually, I can comfort him and do massages and exercises to expel the gas, but for 5 minutes today I couldn't even pick him up, he was writhing in pain. He was lying on his back so I hovered over him with a nipple because I knew the feeding would give him some relief After feeding he was abke to expel some of his gas and got some relief. He is a little star because he was 4 weeks premature and at his weight control appointments his paediatric team said he is putting on more weight than expected, especially for a baby on just breastmilk and that was said before they knew he had tongue tie. I thought he just really didn't like the feel or shape of my nipples because he fussed so much at the beginning of a feed. I can't wait for him to get the corrective procedure done. I want feeding to be easier for him and for the gas issue to be a lot less severe on him.
What are your tips for my baby who was tongue tied and has forgotten to latch since having the the tongue tie has been released? He is now 8 weeks still showing interest but not enough to latch on properly and still clicks when trying to feed x I’m having to pump to feed him from a bottle and he has a Dummy. Thank you
Could the clicking, leaking and pulling off be caused by an overactive letdown? He's been getting really fussy and pulls off or just slides to the nipple just as the letdown happens
Hi Anna. Yes, the symptoms you mentioned may also be caused by an overactive let down. If it is only happening during your let down and not throughout the feed, that may be the case. Having a lactation consultant observe a feeding may help you to determine the cause and come up with a solution. Congratulations on your baby :)
What if baby is gaining plenty of weight? But latches off and screams the whole time during feeding and just cries the whole time while awake but seems like tummy hurts. I’m desperate for help
Hi mama, I am so sorry that you are struggling right now. I have a video about oversupply and overactive letdown, if anything from that video resonates with you, this may be something to look into with an IBCLC/ Lactation consultant. Remember that this can be overcome and you will see better days on your breastfeeding journey, just take it one step at a time. ❤
Another sign could be that feedings take a LONG time as baby's tongue and jaw get tired as the feed goes on, the lactating parent may also notice a DROP in supply. Have you experienced any of these things? Did you get help?
i have noticed all the signs, how old should the baby be to get a surgical procedure for a lower tongue tie?
@@Purplecheque Great question.I recommend finding a lactation consultant in your area to work with (hopefully one who has experience with oral ties) and ask the lactation consultant for recommendations on specialists in your area who do the assessment and procedure to correct oral ties.

Hi. is it possible tongue can cause sleeping problems coz my baby had sleeping problems since he was born now he is 8 month
It is possible for sure. It's all related to airway. If sleeping problems are still going on, it's definitely worth having evaluated.
What if he only has one of those signs?
Hi Jaylene, If your baby has any of these signs and you are concerned, it may be worth having a feeding observation by an IBCLC
We got told baby boy has a posterior tongue tie that the pediatric dentist said didnt need work done because he is able to move his tongue.

What if they don’t lose weight or gain weight they just maintain weight.

Is this video still up? I am having same issues and I think it’s the letdown
Where is this video plz
How I wish I can get ur number send my baby's picture to u n check weather he's having tongue tie or not

Tongue tie can cause problems with speech, definitely worth having your doctor or a speech therapist check it out.
