A huge shout-out to two amazing women who’ve supported me over the past few weeks. 💛 thank you for guiding me through my breastfeeding journey with Sienna 2 years ago — coming full circle with Luca was such a special moment. And to who assessed and released his tongue tie, thank you for your gentle care. I’m so grateful for all the support from you both.

Did you know that playing with an O Ball can help support your baby’s tongue movement and oral development? They are great pre-and post tongue tie release 💡 When babies mouth, chew, and explore the ball’s surface, they strengthen the muscles needed for feeding, speech, and overall tongue mobility.
✨ Benefits of an O Ball for Oral Development:
✔ Encourages tongue and jaw movement
✔ Supports lip closure & coordination
✔ Helps with teething discomfort
✔ Builds foundational skills for speech
Try offering an O Ball during tummy time or playtime and watch them explore like this baby! I also recommend that parents use a dummy clip so it doesn’t drop on the floor when they let go of it!🌟

👅This little bump is what is left in the mouth when I divide a thick, tight anterior (connected to the tip of the tongue) tie. I don’t remove the frenulum during a tongue tie division; it is cut through. So this part can be visible post division but over time it absorbs into the floor of the mouth/gum ridge. ⠀
👅 Imagine that before the procedure, the height of that bump was the highest of the tongue could lift!!⠀

🤱🏻Symptoms for a breastfeeding mother may include:⠀
🚩Sore damaged and misshapen nipples ⠀
🚩Pain during feeds that does not improve with positioning and attachment ⠀
🚩Re-occurring engorgement, mastitis, blocked ducts and blebs ⠀
🚩Low milk production or what appears to be an abundant milk production/engorgement due to ineffective milk transfer by baby⠀
🚩Exhaustion and anxiety from frequent and prolonged feeding⠀
🚩Clamping or grazing sensation during feeds⠀
⠀
⠀
👶🏼Symptoms for baby may include:⠀
🚩Difficulty or inability to attach to the breast ⠀
🚩Frustration at the breast or ‘bobbing’ ⠀
🚩Frequent slipping off the breast ⠀
🚩Excessive weight loss or slow gain ⠀
🚩Static weight gain at around 3 months old⠀
🚩Falling asleep from exhaustion during a feed rather than fullness⠀
🚩Prolonged, frequent or fussy feeding ⠀
🚩Unsettled between feeds⠀
🚩Clicking noises / grinding / gumming / chewing of the nipple whilst feeding ⠀
🚩Symptoms of wind / colic / reflux⠀
🚩Coughing or choking whilst feeding⠀
⠀
⠀
⠀
👩🏽🍼Babies who bottle feed may experience:⠀
🚩Long feeds⠀
🚩Inability to create a seal around the teat leading to excessive dribbling of milk⠀
🚩Noisy, clicking, lip-smacking during each bottle feed⠀
🚩Slow or no weight gain & weight loss⠀
🚩Symptoms of colic and /or reflux⠀
🚩Early breastfeeding difficulties
>>>> SWIPE for the shallow and ineffective latch that baby had before the procedure. Despite positioning support baby would not go deeper and always slipped to the nipple.
🤱🏼This is how wide you’re aiming for when latching baby on!
🤱🏾 The lower lip is curled downwards and the chin is low and extended.. massaging the breast.
🤱🏻Baby may need help achieving and relaxing into this deeper latch… anchor them lower lip first onto the breast. Aim for nipple on top of the nose or the bridge of the nose (see my Exaggerated Latch video). Then as baby hooks over the breast the nipple is the last thing to enter baby’s mouth as it brushes under the top lip.

👀 To see before and after pictures of tongue tie division check out ‘tap to divide’ in the highlights.
👀 This is a feature that I think is important for showing the difference division can make. It is beneficial for parents and the professionals who support their feeding journeys.

💜 Im a mother too, so I realise the importance of knowledgable feeding support in those first months of your baby’s life.
