Q: What are your thoughts on tongue and lip ties?
A: They are real and can really impair baby and mom's breastfeeding journey. Moreover, getting an evaluation by a competent doctor who specializes in tongue and lip ties can instantly improve latch, nipple pain, and gas/colic-like symptoms associated with aerophagia (swallowing a lot of air).
