WNY Orofacial There are a lot of misconceptions online about the “best” way to treat tethered oral tissues which may include but are not limited to tongue ties.

We recognize that holistic treatment is the most evidence-based and as such, we treat the whole person. We specialize in complex situations. As you wouldn't have your general physician treating chronic heart disease, you wouldn't have a typical International Board-Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) managing complex issues such as tethered oral tissues or infantile reflux. The simple fact is that educational opportunities are few and far between for healthcare providers, leaving many to rely on their personal experience as "evidence" to support their practices. At WNY Orofacial & The Breastfeeding Support Center, we have a solid base of academic evidence to support our practices and we offer a multidisciplinary touch to our services. Whether you are a breast/chest-feeding or bottle-feeding parent, we can help alleviate colic, reflux, frequent feedings, slow weight gain, and more! Our full range of services includes suck and swallow assessments, lactation support, food intolerance assessments for parents and their children, colic and reflux assessments as well as full body assessments of infants for points of muscular tension which may inhibit full range of motion of the mouth, lips, and cheeks that would negatively impact feeding. Many treatments are available in-house, and referrals to the best and brightest evidence-based providers in the area are available as well to ensure that your family receives the best possible continuity of care.

Even a whiff of breastmilk can reap benefits for . 👃

In an RCT of 60 infants born at 26–34 weeks, exposure to the smell of their mother’s milk before their first oral feed following non-nutritive sucking was associated with better early feeding performance.

Smell is an early-developed sense, and familiar milk odours may help cue rooting, sucking, and feeding readiness during a challenging transition from tube to oral feeds.

This is a simple, low-tech concept with high human relevance and could be a tool in your toolkit along with individualized feeding assessment, cue-based care and lactation support to help babies get home safely!
A tiny sensory cue. A potentially meaningful first feed.

This comes up so often as a topic for discussion during our appointments. Transgenerational trauma is endlessly fascinating!
