@sunnyseedco We went to 37 doctor appointments in the first three months of Mackenzie's life to try + find answers why my newborn was so miserable eating, sleeping...everything.⁠⁠4 pediatricians, NICU doctors, 2 IBCLCs, 1 hospital lactation consultant, speech therapists, ENT, OT, pediatric nutritionist, early intervention specialist...they ALL missed Mackenzie's tongue-tie.⁠⁠When I mentioned I thought it was a posterior tonuge-tie, I received the most unhelpful comments:⁠⁠"You must be a first time mom."⁠"There's no such thing as a posterior tongue-tie."⁠"That only affects speech + she's too young."⁠"No, she can stick her tongue out."⁠"She has colic + reflux. Try these meds."⁠⁠After hours of additional research + hitting what felt like rock bottom, we took a chance and drove hours away to see the only preferred provider in the state, Dr. Baxter. He correctly diagnosed + treated Mackenzie's lip tie + posterior tongue tie through a laser frenectomy.⁠⁠The procedure took ~30 sec. + completely changed our life. (Not an exaggeration!). Mackenzie was able to nurse correctly for the first time ever! I noticed a significant difference immediately, but we still had a lot of work to do!⁠⁠▪️Chiropractic care⁠▪️Stretches⁠▪️Tummy-time⁠▪️Skin to skin⁠▪️Suck training - teach the brain to call on the right muscles⁠▪️Work with an oral motor specialist (PT) or IBCLC⁠⁠Babies need full tongue, head + neck movement to feed effectively. Tightness in the mouth impacts the entire body!⁠⁠Within a month of the procedure, she went from being the most uncomfortable, difficult baby we'd ever met to being the happiest!⁠⁠When Olivia came along, we felt prepared and confident. Her PTT + LT were not as severe, but we opted to have them released when she was one week old + it was such an easy recovery.⁠⁠⁠I share our family story to raise awareness! Unfortunately, this is not something taught in medical or dental school. YOU must be your own health advocate, always. ...

I’m guilty of this. Anyone else? @rie.parenting.instructor "Be careful!" is a surefire way to break a child's concentration as they navigate a piece of equipment... and it's in that moment when a child shifts their focus to their parent that they may lose their balance... just because their concentration has been broken.⁠⁠If you're feeling anxious as you observe your child on a piece of equipment... you may want to stealthily move a bit closer because proximity has a way of reducing anxiety.😰Then, be as still and quiet as you can and resist any temptation to offer advice. ⁠⁠When we refrain from "helping" when we're not asked for help, a child's competency can be revealed to us and confidence grows. ⁠.⁠.⁠⁠⁠.⁠.⁠.⁠.⁠.⁠⁠#peacefultoddler #peacefulparent #focus #attention #selfreliance #freemovement #naturalgrossmotordevelopment #earlyyears #earlychildhoodeducation #rieparenting #parentsupport ...
