Feeling unsure about tongue ties or overwhelmed by conflicting advice? This episode breaks down what actually matters so you can make confident decisions for your child without fear or pressure.
In this roundtable conversation, I’m joined by Dr Yvonne LeFort NABBLM-C, Kara Larson CCC-SLP, and Brianna Mulik CCC-SLP—three experts in pediatric feeding, swallowing, and breastfeeding medicine to unpack one of the most talked about topics in parenting right now: tethered oral tissues. We talk about what tongue ties actually are, when they matter, and why so many parents feel pushed toward quick decisions without fully understanding their options.
In this episode, we cover:
What tongue ties actually are and when they matter
Why function matters more than appearance
How to know if feeding challenges need further evaluation
Red flags to watch for when seeking support
What the research says about speech, sleep, and older kids
Risks and benefits of intervention
What true informed consent should look like
If this episode helped you feel more confident, share it with a friend or another mom who might need it too.
