This week on Parents You’ve Got This The Expert Guide to Parenthood Podcast we delve into the controversial topic of ties - tongue ties, lip ties and buccal/cheek ties. These medical conditions can be controversial and difficult for parents to navigate, as the medical community is often divided in their opinions on diagnosis and treatment.

Back in the podcast chair is our resident Lactation Expert, IBCLC and mother of 3 Rowena Gray to share her expertise and insights.

We discuss:

• What tongue, lip and buccal ties are

• Why there is so much controversy around their diagnosis and treatment

• How different types of ties may impact a baby breastfeeding and eating

• Different treatment options for ties and how the procedure is performed

• Ties in older children

• Wound care tips, signs of infection and after care

• Risks of having a tie released or semi released

• Why it is left to a parent to seek advice and make the decision around treatment
