Breathe With Chelsea

THE MYO MUNCHEE!! I have been sharing a lot this week about it! This appliance is great for kids to use that are in between treatment ages. Helping guide that growth can help that jaw structure grow and form the way it was suppose to!

Let's help those kiddos strengthen their jaw and chewing muscles to help assist in optimal oral health and function! I have a few openings this week in our new location in Boise! We can't wait for you to see the new location!

How do you know if your baby has a tongue tie?

Signs and symptoms of tongue-tie
(Babies and mothers may experience some, but not all of these)

For the mother:
-Ni***es which look misshapen, ridged or blanched after feeds
-Ni***es that are sore/blistered/cracked/bleeding/bruised Mastitis and blocked ducts
-Low milk supply
-Over supply of milk
-Exhaustion from frequent/constant feeding Distress from failing to establish breastfeeding

For baby:
-Restricted tongue movement – baby may be unable to poke his tongue out or lick his lips. During crying the tongue may remain in the floor of the mouth or just the edges may curl up forming a ‘dish’ shape.
-Inability to open mouth wide when attaching to the breast resulting in biting/grinding behaviour Unsettled/fussy behaviour when latching to the breast and during feeds
-Coughing on the milk flow
-Difficulty staying attached to the breast
-Falling asleep at the breast before the end of a feed
-Frequent or very long feeds
-Excessive early weight loss/ poor weight gain/faltering growth Clicking noises and/ or dribbling during feeds

If you check yes to any of these symptoms, an evaluation from a lactation specialist to help guide you through your journey is a must! From there a referral to a release provider will be given! You got this mama!!
