I Didn't Learn About Tongue Tie in School, Did You?g
It can be so frustrating to think that there might be a tongue tie, but you don't feel like it's your place to diagnose, or you're not sure how to assess. There used to be babies that I couldn't help to breastfeed comfortably or efficiently - even as an IBCLC!
Did you know that 90% of tongue tie assessment comes from the interview and watching breastfeeding? I have come to realize that most of the time, an oral exam isn't necessary.
Now I'm sharing my easy method to assess which infants need further evaluation for tongue tie for free.
