Tongue and Lip Tie Therapy

Tethered oral tissues (TOTs) are oral restrictions that occur in the mouth and could include tongue, lip, or buccal. These restrictions can limit the movement needed for a baby to properly suck, swallow, and breathe, and may cause other tightness or tension in the body. 

Symptoms to look for in mom or baby: 

• difficulty latching or staying latched
• clicking while eating
• falling asleep when eating
• taking a long time to eat
• colic
• painful nursing
• nipple damage 
• supply issues or frequent mastitis 

If your baby is experiencing any of these symptoms, therapy may help to address body tension, feeding challenges, and motor development.
