Infant Suck Training Exercises

Babies need to move their tongues on all directions: up and down, in and out, and side to side. We can help teach babies to love their tongues with gentle exercises. Never force the exercises try to do them when baby is in a happy, awake/alert state. Stop if baby becomes fussy.
This video is mean for education purposes only. Exercises should be done under the direct supervision of a trained therapist or IBCLC as the needs of every baby are different.
For a full, comprehensive course on everything parents need to know about tongue and lip ties, enroll in Tied & Untied today at lalactation.teachable.com
If you’re a health care provider, consider taking the provider course I am teach for, Infant Frenectomy Protocol spearheaded by the amazing Dr Chelsea Pinto, DDS found here: www.infantfrenectomyprotocol....

It basically means the tongue has limited range of motion due to being connected to the bottom of the mouth too tightly by the sublingual membrane. It can affect speech, too, if severe and left untreated.

[@sharonspencer2312]

Would you please tell what a tongue tie.

[@lalactation]

The tongue can be connected to the floor of the mouth by a thin mucous structure called a frenulum. When it’s too short or tight it limits the movement of the tongue and we call it tied. I teach a class on this if you want more information. Go to LALactation.com to sign up

Will it help my baby to suck at my breast? He seems to have forgotten after staying in hospital and fed by a cotton for 3 days and has totally stopped sucking.

[@lalactation]

Yes, these exercises can help re-orient baby to sucking. Continue to offer the breast often. If you're struggling with breastfeeding, you can also schedule a phone, virtual or in person consultation to help you setback on track. Schedule at www.lalactation.com

[@lalactation]

Yes

[@sharonspencer2312]

Did you mean cotton or bottle? In the '70s when I had my 6, 5 living children; they insisted on giving my babies bottles. This made them refuse to nurse because milk comes out of a bottle easier. Jackie would have starved herself rather than nurse & thru horrible fits. I finally gave up at 4 mts. I only used a bottle for water & many parents don't realize that babies get thirsty, especially bottle fed babies. I insisted on no bottle in hospital to my Dr's. w 6th & finally wá able to successfully nurse her until 18mts when she started biting me!
