Your Fort Worth Lactation Consultant for Tongue Tie Support
Tongue Tie Doesn’t Have to End Your Breastfeeding Journey
Feeling overwhelmed and unsure if your baby has a tongue or lip tie? You’re not alone — and you're definitely not crazy for questioning what you're seeing.
Tongue ties and oral restrictions can limit how your baby moves their tongue, making it hard to transfer milk effectively. That often leads to frustration, pain, and exhaustion for both of you.
I’ve walked this road — both professionally and personally — and I’m here to help you find real answers and practical support. Whether you're sure it's a tongue tie or just have a gut feeling, you don’t have to figure this out alone.

FAQ's
Will a tongue tie stretch out?
No, a true tongue tie (restriction of the frenulum/fascia) can not be stretched out.
We can develop compensations throughout our lives. Through the aid of bodywork (chiropractic/ myofascial/ craniosacral therapy) we may be able to reduce related tensions or mobility concerns of the tongue and lips. Restricted fascia (the thin tissue layer that connects your skin, muscles and bones to each other) may hinder movement of the tongue and lips, bodywork can help ease these tensions and improve mobility.
Does it matter who treats my baby?
Absolutely! We want to work with a team player — a release provider who understands babies, a knowledgeable bodywork provider, and an experienced IBCLC all work together to find what’s best for BOTH parent & baby.
When you work with me, we come up with a detailed game plan. Don’t worry, you won’t be alone during this process.
We can just bottle-feed, right?
Maybe, maybe not. True restrictions of the mouth and related tissues affect your baby in different ways (ability to eat, spacing of feeds, overall movement, and breathing).
Bottle feeding may be just as challenging as breast/chest feeding — or even more challenging. It really depends on your baby’s specific case.
If it doesn't hurt to feed, does it mean there's not a tongue tie?
Not necessarily. Many babies have restrictions that go unnoticed. If your milk supply’s plentiful and easy to stimulate, your baby doesn't have to work very hard to eat.
But that could change in a few weeks or months with a tongue tie. Other causes of concern not related to pain are frequency of feeds, length of feeds, or weight gain problems.
NOTE: You shouldn’t have pain or discomfort while feeding; So if you do, let’s address it.
