Seeing your baby struggle with feeding can be tough. Whether it’s pain while breastfeeding or just a frustrated little one, it’s enough to make any parent worry. 
At Tongue Tie Phoenix, we are all about making your baby’s life easier. We offer the newest technology and a compassionate staff to ensure that you and your child feel supported at every stage.

What Is A Lip Tie?

A lip tie is when the tiny piece of tissue under your baby’s upper lip, called the labial frenulum, is too tight. It’s like having a small rope that stops your baby from lifting their lip properly.

It can make feeding tricky and cause other issues, like dental problems or speech delays.

This restricts the movement of the upper lip and can result in:

  • Breastfeeding problems: It might make it harder for your baby to latch properly or suck effectively.
  • Dental problems: When teeth erupt, lip bindings may cause cavities or even decay.
  • Speech problems: Later on, it can affect how your child speaks.

Important Note: Lip ties are often missed during regular pediatric checkups, so it’s good to keep an eye out for signs!

Signs Your Baby Might Have a Lip Tie

You have noticed that feeding is not as easy as it should be, and now you wonder if a lip tie could be the culprit. Here’s what to watch out for:

For Babies:

  • Trouble latching or staying latched during breastfeeding.
  • Clicking sounds while feeding.
  • Slow growth or lack of weight gain.
  • Excessive fussiness or signs of discomfort after feeds.

For Moms:

  • Nipple pain or soreness that just won’t go away.
  • Clogged milk ducts or mastitis from poor milk transfer.
  • Feeding that feels more like a struggle than a bonding moment.

And, if you peek under your baby’s upper lip and notice that little tissue is thick, short, or too tight, that’s a red flag!

The Benefits of Treating a Lip Tie

Easier Feeding

Once the lip tie is addressed, both you and your baby can finally enjoy a feeding routine that’s smooth and comfortable. 

No more frustration with latch issues or awkward positioning. Just relax and have peaceful moments with your little one.

Better Weight Gain

With a proper latch and more effective feeding, your baby can take in more milk. This leads to improved weight gain and faster growth. 

You will see your baby thriving as they get the nourishment they need to flourish.

Fewer Breastfeeding Struggles

Once the lip tie is released, your baby can latch on properly, reducing discomfort for both of you. Breastfeeding becomes the natural bonding experience it’s meant to be.

Prevention of Future Issues

Treating a lip tie early on can help prevent bigger problems later, like speech delays or dental issues. By taking care of the tie now, you are setting your baby up for better oral development as they grow.

Your baby deserves to feel comfortable, and so do you.
