about the tongue tie centre
Tongue Function Matters
We seek to understand the root cause of the symptoms for you and your baby. We understand how challenging the impact of tongue tie can be. We thoroughly assess your baby from head to toe addressing the wider impact a tongue tie and oral dysfunction can have.
We validate and support your concerns about your baby's oral health.
"Why didn't they assess my baby sooner?”
This is the number one question we get asked by parents!
The thing is, understanding tongue tie is not an integral part of medical or midwifery training, and there is a huge gap in the knowledge base, yet HOW the tongue functions is so important for infant feeding, breathing, speaking, chewing, swallowing and more.
Our Why
Our shared passion for our work stems from our own infant feeding experiences. As a result, we have a deeper drive to support families to curate a positive infant feeding journey; however you choose to feed your baby. We fully recognise the impact that tongue ties and restricted tongue function can have on the feeding relationship on both a physical and psychological level.
A shift was needed and we chose to do something about it!
In January 2021, the Tongue Tie Academy was successfully launched, supporting birth keepers, lactation supporters and healthcare professionals to elevate their knowledge, skills and practice in understanding tongue function in order to best support their clients and create a much bigger impact for infant feeding families.
At the Tongue Tie Centre, we fully recognise that not all families will have the means and privilege to see a private Lactation Consultant or a Tongue Tie Specialist.
We absolutely get it!
As such it has been a long-awaited mission to create a space for ALL families to benefit from specialist skilled tongue tie and infant feeding support, irrespective of their financial means to pay. And so... ...the Tongue Tie Centre for Infant Feeding CIC was established!
