Tongue Tie (Ankyloglossia)

Are you concerned that your baby has a tongue tie (ankyloglossia)?   There are many reasons why breastfeeding can be a struggle. Even if your child has ankyloglossia, it does not necessarily mean that it should be released. Our lactation consultant can help determine not only if your child has a tongue tie but also whether it seems to be inhibiting breastfeeding.

Have you been told your child's tongue tie is negatively impacting breastfeeding?   Examples of this may include poor weight gain from insufficient milk transfer or maternal breast pain.  

Dr. Bruce and Dr. Hannon are able to clip some ties in the office with a procedure called a frenotomy. There are many providers in the community who also do frenotomies. Our lactation consultant can work with you to determine which route is best for you and your child.
