In this episode I discuss all things tongue ties! From symptoms that may mean your baby has one, to who to reach out to, what to do before and after a tongue tie surgery and everything in between.  Here is the link to my favorite tongue exercises for after revision, be sure to consult with your provider:  Towards the bottom of the page you will find sucking exercises, these are great to do 2 weeks prior to surgery to again prep the baby with better tongue function. A few times (2-3) a day should be great! Then stick to the 5 times per day after revision. https://www.coloradotonguetie.com/patient-resources/post-surgery-exercises

My personal story about dealing with my daughter's jaundice, low milk supply and tongue tie. From supplementation starting at day 2 to finally getting back to the breast at 4 months. I hope this story gives you HOPE that anything is possible, and if you want to breastfeed, you can do it!  **Clarification** when I said that at 1 month postpartum you should be making 3-4oz combined, this is for EXCLUSIVE pumpers! If you are breastfeeding and pumping then anything under 2oz combined is perfect and highly depends on when you last fed baby. For me, since my daughter did not transfer milk well, pumping 1oz total meant there wasn't much else in there.
