The guide ALLLLL the pregnant mamas are talking about: 👉 3 FREE Exercises for Your BEST Birth: https://www.myessentialbirth.com/3-ex... Is your baby fussy, clicking while nursing, struggling with tummy time, or just not quite seeming like themselves and nobody can give you a straight answer about why? Tongue tie might be the last thing on your radar. But after this conversation with Michelle Emanuel, pediatric occupational therapist, board-certified lactation consultant, and one of the leading experts in tongue tie and oral function, it just might be the first place you look. Because tongue tie is not just about nursing pain or a string under the tongue. It is connected to how your baby breathes, how they move their body, why they are gassy and fussy, why they hate tummy time, and if it goes undetected, to speech challenges, crowded teeth, sleep issues, and emotional dysregulation years down the road. I have been in the birth world for 14 years and this conversation genuinely surprised me. I went and looked inside all of my teenagers' mouths when we finished recording and I am not even a little bit embarrassed about it. 😂 👇 WATCH / LISTEN & SAVE THIS EPISODE FOR LATER 👇 What You'll Learn in This Episode 02:03 – Meet Michelle & how she got started 04:25 – What a tongue tie actually is 07:47 – Predispositions & signs before your baby is even born 10:54 – Signs it is time to have someone look 14:02 – Who should actually be checking for tongue tie 16:56 – What a release actually is 21:48 – What resolves after a tongue tie is released 24:16 – Breastfeeding signs most mamas miss 28:12 – The tongue as a breathing organ 33:14 – What happens if it does not get caught early 38:12 – The one thing Michelle wants every parent to take away ✨ WANT TO FEEL CONFIDENT & PREPARED FOR BIRTH?
