Tongue-Tie What Everyone Needs to Know

December 22, 2019 by Krisi Brackett 5 Comments

Tongue-Tie. What Everyone Needs to Know By Robyn Merkel-Walsh MA, CCC-SLP

Posted with permission.

As a speech pathologist for over 24 years, I have seen many patients with various diagnoses. Since my practice specializes in oral motor and feeding disorders, I meet many patients who have been struggling with speech and feeding issues for some time, often with limited progress. Most concerning is the pediatric referrals, with frantic, sleep deprived parents who are doing everything possible to help their infant stay hydrated and thriving. Too often a simple symptom was missed, a tongue-tie.

    Excellent article!! I recently saw a little baby DOL 2. Was going no where breast feeding and had trouble with a variety of bottles. He clearly had restriction of tongue movement but did not have an anterior tie. However, he had a very thick posterior tie. The pediatrician was more than willing to clip but felt the tie was so thick that he needed to see an ENT. Which indeed he did. We found a bottle to help him transfer more efficiently and he was scheduled for surgery. I can’t help but think if the pediatrician had not been on board those first time parents would have had a very frustrating path. It takes a team!!!!

    I read this post twice and saved it. We often see kids in our intensive program who had had free cronies that didn’t solve the feeding issue. However, I don’t feel comfortable assessing for this so I rely heavily on SLP’s and OT’s for their expert assessment when I am concerned about a TOT. This was so informative.
