Having trouble nursing? Is your baby experiencing reflux, gassy tummy, chronic fussiness?

Bring in your infant or child for evaluation of a tied lip or tied tongue.  The positioning of the tongue makes an incredible impact on a infants ability to successfully latch.  A non-successful latch can be frustrating for both baby and mom.  Dr. Atwood uses laser technology to easily release a tie.  This quick and easy procedure can be life changing for both mom and baby.

Signs that your infant might be lip or tongue tied:

• Weight loss or inadequate weight gain
• Clicking sounds during nursing (caused by poor suction)
• Colic or irritability
• Gas and/or reflux
• Arching away from breast while nursing
• Sleeping during feeding (tired from difficult nursing)
• Spilling or leaking of milk due to ineffective seal
• Frequent feedings 
• Biting or chewing during nursing
• Choking, coughing or gulping during nursing

Tongue tie/lip tie effects on mother:

• Nipple pain or damage (cracks or erosions)
• Low milk supply
• Mastitis
• Pinched, creased or bruised nipples after feedings
• Plugged milk ducts
