He explains that a pediatric dentist is someone who has done additional residency training to specialize in caring for children's oral health. Dr. Poplin focuses on tethered oral tissues (tongue and lip ties) and early orthodontic growth and development. He emphasizes the importance of collaboration with lactation consultants and other healthcare providers to ensure comprehensive care for patients. The procedure for releasing tongue and lip ties involves using a CO2 laser to precisely cut the tissue, and aftercare involves stretching the area to prevent reattachment.TakeawaysA pediatric dentist specializes in caring for children's oral health and may have additional training in areas such as tethered oral tissues and early orthodontic growth and development.Collaboration with lactation consultants and other healthcare providers is crucial for comprehensive care when treating tongue and lip ties.The procedure for releasing tongue and lip ties involves using a CO2 laser to precisely cut the tissue, and aftercare involves stretching the area to prevent reattachment.Parents should be prepared for the commitment of aftercare, which involves stretching the area multiple times a day for several weeks.Finding a healthcare provider who takes a collaborative approach and focuses on the individual needs and goals of the patient is important when seeking treatment for tongue and lip ties.Chapters00:00 Introduction to Pediatric Dentistry and Tethered Oral Tissues02:04 Understanding the Role of a Pediatric Dentist03:23 Explaining the Types of Ties07:30 Addressing Misconceptions About Tongue and Lip Tie Treatment11:18 The Procedure for Releasing Tongue and Lip Ties24:45 Age Ranges and Numbing Options for the Procedure25:42 The Importance of Aftercare for Successful Healing29:31 Collaboration and Comprehensive Care for Tongue and Lip Tie TreatmentThis episode is sponsored by BirthCo.

Lisa Myers is a working mom of 2 sharing with use her journey through breastfeeding. With her daughter she made it to six months of breastfeeding and supplementing with formula. Then with her son she found out he had a tongue tie and ended up getting it treated. Lisa also shares with us what it was like to return to work. From her experiences, she learned a lot about storing breastmilk and has now created a revolutionary product for storing breastmilk.Born in Canada, Lisa spent her childhood on a 200-acre hay and cattle farm outside Spokane, Washington, where she and her brother helped out with harvesting crops, caring for the animals and other seasonal work.  Several years later, Lisa was all grown up and running political campaigns in New Jersey and serving as an assistant district attorney in Philadelphia.  Lisa got married, started a family and works for an international law firm. Like almost every mom Lisa knows, she found breastfeeding incredibly difficult for a million reasons. For her, these included working in a male-dominated sector, some long work days and travel away from her son. She soon realized she had no way to keep her milk safely stored without awkward walks down the office hall, juggling obvious bottles of breastmilk and pump parts. And she needed a new way to travel for work: A big ol' cooler, bottles, and ice packs simply did not fit in her big bag already full of mediation binders, exhibits, a suit, computer, and...the pump.  A typical work trip saw Lisa having to dispose of 13.5 ounces of precious breastmilk at the airport. Her market research turned up nothing that could meet a mom's basic travel, working, and pumping needs. She got down to work inventing a solution to solve the problem simply, elegantly, and affordably. She was soon able to file for a patent and begin working with an amazing team to make Ceres Chill available to any mom in search of a better way to achieve their breastfeeding goals while continuing to be a great professional success. ​ LINKS:Dr. Townsend at VanderbiltCeres Chill website (use discount code Holistic 15)Ceres Chill on InstagramMy WebsiteBuy the Advanced Lactation FormulaConnect with me on Instagram & Facebook!Holistic Lactation - Herbal Supplements Holistic Lactation makes organic herbal supplements for supporting healthy and ample lactation.

Families call him Dr. K., and on today's episode we have Dr. Pejman Katiraei to talk about a holistic approach to pediatrics with a focus on tongue ties. Specifically, we're discussing the domino effect they cause later in life--including failure to thrive, oral aversions/extreme picky eaters, sleep apnea, development of palate, and even what looks like ADHD and anxiety.Dr. K graduated from his residency in 2006. From 2004-2005 he realized there has to be more to the story than what he was trained to do. He was fortunate to see a lot of complex cases, great training, but saw things that didn’t add up. One particular case was an 8-10 year old boy who had horrible colitis. Steroids didn’t work and doctors wanted to remove colon. Ultimately he knew there was more to the story than a major surgery.Dr. K is an integrative pediatrician, with a focus on severe behavioral issues in children. He works with more than just diet, the gut, and supplements because his clinical experience has taught him that only 25% of kids got better with that approach. He was really awoken to what happens in the mouth 4 years ago.Digestion begins in the mouth—chewing, breaking it down, swallow begins there. If you don’t know how to chew your food, how does the rest of digestion work? It’s not meant to work with unchewed food. The pancreas’ job isn’t to chew food—it’s to take already broken down food and further unpack that. Tongue tied children cannot chew food well (rotary chewing is lacking).Can the child take a chunk of steak and chew it? If not, they have a “broken eating mechanism”. If eating is difficult or something isn’t happening properly, your brain learns those foods are dangerous. Then you have a picky eater.Poor digestion and food intake means a lack of micronutrients, lack of fiber, changes in gut microbiome, lack of diversity. The immune system then becomes activated to these foods because they’re not more digested by the time they hit the gut. This ultimately causes a phenomenon known as “sickness behavior”—this is the brain’s response to immune activation—brain fogginess, feeling “sick”.Once these kids are labelled with ADD, AHHD, depression, or anxiety, they lose their self-esteem and feel like they cannot function normally.When parents know what to look for, it will become clear as day:difficulty breastfeeding, sometimes shows up later once letdown calmssomething is off early onsolid foods, from 12-24 months old other issues crop up—spitting out certain textures, higher density foods create struggles3-4 years old become very picky eaters, very established food preferences—soft foods that barely require chewingcolic/reflux—swallowing air, gassy—tissue pulling on esophageal sphincter causing refluxdifficult to put to sleepspeech problemsWe shouldn’t approach this from fear or “doom and gloom”—tongue tie isn’t a damning diagnosis. How you approach this depends on how preventive you want to be. Tongue tie procedures are a surgery—risk/cost benefit.What is it worth to prevent these issues? We must honor where the parents are at and supporting their choices and needs.Lastly, the tongue helps us breathe—it pushes the palate and teeth out. Choking, gagging, snoring can all be related issues, and later in life we see sleep apnea or upper airway resistance syndrome.LINKS:Families can find Dr. K on instagram: https://www.instagram.com/wholistickidsYou can also visit him at www.wholistickids.comMy WebsiteConnect with me on Instagram & Facebook!

Listen in as Michelle asks Kathy Bradley, IBCLC to discuss an increasing concern for parents:  tongue and lip ties in newborns. Kathy explains what a tongue or lip tie is, the different types of ties, the potential signs of a tongue tie, and when a surgical revision may be necessary. Kathy also shares what parents may want to look for in a provider if a tongue tie revision is advised, as well as concerns regarding the MTHFR gene mutation and the formation of tongue ties. "So, the rule of thumb is just because we see that something looks like it might be tight, doesn't mean it's an automatic revision. ... I really look at functionality. l look at mom's  pain level [during breastfeeding], how much [milk] baby's transferring, what's going on."—Kathy BradleyAbout Kathy Bradley.

My guest is Lauren, a wife and mom of two little girls, Elliana who is 2 ½ and Charlotte who is 7 months old. She is also a social worker who works with adults with developmental disabilities and is trying to balance it all, just like everyone else.We discuss painful nursing in the beginning, the barriers to meeting with a lactation consultant (emotional, mental, and logistics), finding out two years later that baby has a lip tie, comparing baby 2 to baby 1 and the guilt that comes with that, the amazing Haakaa (with lid!), dwindling supply, and more.ResourcesInformation on Lip Tie, Tongue Tie & Revision from the International Breastfeeding CenterHaakaa Silicone Pump with Cap (as recommended by Lauren/affiliate link) CreditsPodcast artwork by Staci Oswald, Trampoline DesignMusic - "Playdate" by The Great North Sound Society

In this episode I am joined by Michelle Odoerfer, a mother of two young girls living in Clinton Township, Michigan with her husband Andrew. Michelle experienced two very different births - her first, in a hospital, was tense as she had to endure verbal and physical aggression from an attending OB. Her second was a peaceful, unattended home birth, with just herself and her husband (baby came so fast the midwife didn’t make it). Hear Michelle share how she learned some tough lessons about self advocacy - not only during her first birth, but also through her newborn’s undiagnosed tongue and lip tie. Many health care providers missed the ties, and Michelle had to figure out on her own why her baby wasn’t gaining weight. She also committed to a journey of sourcing donated breast milk, and crafting her own supplemental nursing system. For more information and news about Evidence Based Birth®, visit www.ebbirth.com.

Ah tongue- and lip-ties!  We've heard A LOT about them from our podcast interviewees.  Hope and I both have children who've had them.  So, while not outside-the-box per se, tongue- and lip-ties affect many babies regardless of any other circumstances and so we wanted to be sure to address them.  Dr. Catherine Sledge is a family dentist who deals a lot with tongue- and lip-tie, and we are so thrilled that she was willing to take the time to talk with us and share her expertise on this very tricky and important issue potentially impacting breastfeeding...and so much more. See more information on our show notes at: www.SweetPeaBreastfeeding.com/podcast.

Guest: Dr. Alison Hazelbaker is an expert on infant sucking issues caused by various structural problems like torticollis, plagiocephaly, brachycephaly and tissue shock-trauma. She designed the Assessment Tool for Lingual Frenulum Function (ATLFF), which is the only research-based tongue-tie screening process in infants under 6 months. In this episode, we will cover: When a tongue and/or lip tie revision is absolutely necessary and when it would be an unnecessary surgery for your baby (only 5% of babies have a true tongue tie) What problems are associated with tongue and/or lip tie for your baby (with breastfeeding and beyond) What questions you should ask your pediatrician, lactation consultant and/or pediatric dentist before you subject your baby to this surgery Resources mentioned in the conversation: Dr. Hazelbaker's website: http://www.alisonhazelbaker.com link to her book: Tongue-tie: Morphogenesis, Impact, Assessment and Treatment www.tongue-tie.org  About Dr. Alison Hazelbaker: Dr. Hazelbaker has been a therapist for over 30 years. She specializes in cross-disciplinary treatment and to that end has taken training in several modalities to best assist her clients. She is a certified Craniosacral Therapist, a Lymph Drainage Therapy practitioner, a Tummy Time™ Trainer, a Haller Method practitioner and an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant. She is recognized as an expert on infant sucking issues caused by various structural problems like torticollis, plagiocephaly, brachycephaly and tissue shock-trauma. She earned her Master’s Degree from Pacific Oaks College (Human Development specializing in Human Lactation) and her doctorate from The Union Institute and University (Psychology, specializing in Energetic and Transformational healing.) Her original research on tongue-tie, done in 1993, has changed clinical practice both in the USA and abroad.
