What to Expect with Tie Release

Think your baby may have lip, tongue, or cheek ties? You've come to the right place!

When we work with babies with tongue, lip, and buccal ties, we make sure that both mom and baby are prepared for the road ahead. We don't simply see you and refer out for a release. We make sure your baby is prepared and that you know exactly what to expect for your baby and your feeding relationship. We take a lot of time to answer any questions you may have (our visits often run 60-90 minutes). We want you to feel confident with your plan of care before you even step foot into the release provider's office. Depending upon your baby’s feeding abilities, we may see you several times before baby is ready for a release referral/possible release.

Following your visit with us, you will receive a detailed care plan to address your baby's oral-functional issues. You will also have access to a secure messaging portal where you can ask questions along the way. If you have scheduled with us “solely” for a functional assessment prior to release, we will also prepare you for what to expect with each local release provider.
 

You always get to ask the questions you want. We have an extensive list of providers who can help your baby. We aren't tied to one particular release provider or bodyworker. This is important to us - we want you as the family to know you will get unbiased support and referrals for the team that can best support you and your baby. 

​

We work with you and your baby before and after release. We often see families who were sent for a release without preparation and without follow-up care. They come to us because the release didn't fix the issue they were experiencing. A release is just a piece of the puzzle and can provide baby with the opportunity to move, but babies often need exercises and continued to support to make sure the can truly feed well following a release. We can help.
