Assessing for lip and tongue ties involves more than just looking under or sticking out your tongue. At Nurture Development & Lactation, LLC  we are specialty trained in tethered oral tissues and utilize a whole body approach to asses and prepare for lip and tongue tie release. By following a protocol that focuses on optimizing feeding at breast and bottle, strengthening & lengthening through body work, and providing pre & post frenectomy education/therapy, we help you determine if your infants feeding difficulties are truly due to tethered oral tissues. This also helps us to ensure that if a release is necessary, you and you baby are prepared and already engaging in pre work to promote optimal release, healing and post release oral function. Because fixing anatomy doesn’t fix function, evidence based neuromuscular reeducation does, and this is where we shine!
