| 5 Things I Learned at the Breathe & Thrive Conference: Episode 377 | 07 Mar 2025 | 00:27:03 | |
In this episode, Lisa Paladino shares her top five takeaways from the American Laser Study Club’s Breathe & Thrive Conference. While tongue tie is often discussed in the context of breastfeeding, this conference reinforced its lifelong impact on airway health, speech, sleep, and overall function. Lisa breaks down key insights from leading experts and discusses how professionals can improve outcomes for infants and beyond. Key Takeaways: 1️⃣ Tongue Tie Is More Than a Breastfeeding Issue – It impacts oral development, airway health, and lifelong function, not just infant feeding. 2️⃣ Collaboration Is Essential – No single provider can fully treat tongue tie. Success comes from teamwork between lactation consultants, SLPs, bodyworkers, and release providers. 3️⃣ Function Over Form – A release alone isn’t enough. Pre- and post-procedure therapy are critical for proper tongue function. 4️⃣ Airway Health Starts Early – Mouth breathing, poor oral habits, and sleep issues often stem from oral restrictions that should be addressed in infancy. 5️⃣ Misinformation Still Exists – Many outdated myths persist, and ongoing education is essential to ensure families get the right care.
