Tongue Ties and Breastfeeding

Tongue-Ties are a common cause of a painful latch, poor weight gain for baby and low milk supply for moms. Often the symptoms of a tongue-tie can be hard to assess. In this video we learn how to identify common symptoms of a tongue-tie seeing real pictures and videos of breastfeeding babies. We learn about the frenotomy procedure that is done to release the tongue-tie and how to care for baby’s tongue after the procedure. Come hear and see the Breastfeeding With Sarah Community share their experiences breastfeeding with tongue-ties.

These videos are not a replacement for seeing a lactation consultant in person. I will always try to help identify when one needs to be seen and give links on how to find one in your area for individualized and in-person support. These videos are also not providing medical advice, as each person’s situation is unique and needs to be evaluated by a medical professional in person.
