Mayo Clinic Minute: Tongue-tie in babies

Описание к видео Mayo Clinic Minute: Tongue-tie in babies

Latching and feeding challenges can be caused by a number of issues. Rebekah Huppert, a Mayo Clinic lactation consultant, says tongue-tie sometimes could be to blame.

With tongue-tie, an unusually short, thick or tight band of tissue tethers the bottom of the tongue's tip to the floor of the mouth, restricting the tongue's range of motion.

Some cases may require a simple surgical procedure for correction. But not all babies with tongue-tie require treatment. Some families and care providers choose a wait-and-see approach. In that case, Huppert recommends working with a lactation professional who can provide some strategies.
