Imagine the Joy You Feel. Your Child is Born. The Doctor Says You Have a Healthy Baby....
The nurse hands you your infant so you can start bonding the first time you breastfeed. Now imagine how you feel when the baby can’t get a proper latch. A basic job of a mother is to feed their child, right? The nurse provides some instruction. A lactation specialist is brought in to go through more instruction and provide a hand. Still, you are unable to breastfeed. And the pain! Your infant diligently tries to feed and puts their little lips where they are supposed to be but immediately slides down, pinching your nipples between their cute little gums but they HURT!
You go to the doctor again and they still see nothing wrong. You ask friends about it and one of them says; that sounds like tongue tie. Does your dentist do laser procedures? Maybe you should go see her to get it checked.
I know. A dentist for a newborn. Crazy, right? Actually no.
Have you ever heard of TOTS, either tongue-tie or lip-tie before? If not, that wouldn’t be unusual.
Currently only 4 – 10%* of newborn children are diagnosed with either or both.
And does my DENTIST even know how Tethered Oral Tissues (TOTS); Ankyloglossia (Tongue-Tie) or Tethered Superior Labial Frenum (Lip-Tie) can effect breastfeeding?
