Your Baby Has a Tongue Tie but You Are Not Ready for a Release. What Can You Do in the Meantime?

If you have been told your baby has a tongue tie, anterior restriction or a deeper submucosal restriction, you may be trying to make sense of a difficult decision.

Perhaps feeding has felt hard from the beginning. Your baby may click, leak milk, lose their latch, pull off crying, gulp, cough, swallow air, feed for long periods, become stiff through their body or seem uncomfortable after feeds. You may have sore nipples, damaged nipples, low supply, oversupply or concerns about whether your baby is transferring milk efficiently.
