Recording of The Impact of Tongue and Lip Tie on the Breastfeeding Swallow
A webinar featuring Julie Matheney, SLP, IBCLC, that analyzes the impact of tongue tie on the breast feeding swallow from a speech pathology perspective. Swallowing is a complex mechanism that involves the specific coordination of nerves and muscles while overlapping the precise regulation of the respiratory system. When oral ties or restrictions are present, they not only cause symptoms in the breastfeeding dyad, they can also cause changes to the mechanism of the swallow. This presentation throughly examines the influence of oral restrictions on the swallowing process, focusing on insights from a speech pathology perspective.
