Warning Signs You Shouldn’t Ignore

In Babies

  • Difficulty breastfeeding or taking a bottle: Babies with tongue tie often struggle to create a good latch, leading to frustration during feeding.
  • Trouble staying latched: Even if they manage to latch initially, they may slip off repeatedly, leaving them hungry and irritable.
  • Fussiness during feeding: Feeding should be soothing, but for a baby with tongue tie, it can feel more like hard work, expect frequent crying or frustration.

For Moms with a Baby Who Has Tongue Tie

  • Sore nipples or constant pain while breastfeeding: If nursing feels more painful than rewarding, it could be due to improper latching caused by a restricted tongue.
  • Low milk supply: When your baby isn’t latching or sucking efficiently, your body may produce less milk, leading to a cycle of underfeeding.
  • Worry about your baby’s nutrition: Moms often feel something isn’t quite right when their baby struggles to get enough milk despite frequent feedings.

In Older Kids

  • Speech struggles: Your child may have trouble pronouncing certain letters, especially ones requiring tongue movement, like “R,” “L,” or “T.”
  • Difficulty eating certain foods: Foods that need chewing or tongue maneuvering, like sticky or textured foods, can be especially challenging.
  • Frequent complaints about mouth discomfort: Older kids might mention jaw pain or a general sense of discomfort in their mouth, which can be tied to tongue mobility issues.

Why Tongue Tie Can’t Be Ignored?

Leaving tongue tie untreated can cause more than just feeding hiccups. Here’s what could happen:

Feeding Struggles

  • Babies might have slow weight gain.
  • Mealtimes can become stressful battles.

Speech Delays

  • Sounds like “T,” “L,” or “R” are tough to pronounce.
  • Kids might need speech therapy later.

Oral Health Problems

  • Jaw development might be affected.
  • Kids might face challenges keeping their teeth clean.
