Not every tongue tie or lip tie needs to be released.
And pretending otherwise helps no one.

But when intervention is indicated,
isolating the mouth from the rest of the body is where things fall apart.

The mouth doesn’t function alone.

Nervous system regulation
Feeding patterns
Breathing & airway
Body tension & compensation
Sleep quality

All influence whether a release will actually help.

A tie release without:
• functional assessment
• nervous system support
• feeding + airway guidance

isn’t holistic — it’s incomplete!!

The question isn’t
“Does a tie exist?”
It’s “Is this restriction impacting function and are we supporting the whole system?”

That’s the difference between intervention and integration.

Had to jump on this trend -
I didn’t choose this work for the title.

I chose it because feeding a baby is never just about milk.

It’s about trust.
Regulation.
Confidence.
And making sure parents feel held while they’re learning to hold their babies.

Drop a 🙋‍♀️ if you've ever donated milk! ❤️

Be gentle.
Be patient.
This is just another season.
And you've done amazing through every other transition with your baby.
Sending all the weaning mamas, or newly weaned - lots of love.

Thank you !! Couldn't have said it any better - read the whole thread people!! 💪🥰🙌

happy friday ! feed your babies - whenever and wherever !
