Around days 3–4 after a tongue or lip release, many moms tell me:
“It feels like my supply suddenly dipped.”

Here’s what’s actually happening:
💡 Baby is becoming more efficient at milk removal
💡 Your breasts feel softer
💡 Softer feels like “less,” but it’s actually normal physiology

This is NOT the time to panic…
Not the time to add marathon pumping…
Not the time to buy every tincture you can find.

Just keep feeding your baby, keep relaxing into the process, and let the next week unfold. Their efficiency is a sign of progress.

Short answer: yes.
Long answer: it depends.

My own daughter needed more than one release — partly because it was done too early, and partly because techniques were limited at that time.

In my practice today, fewer than 5% of children need a second release.
It’s uncommon, but it’s not a failure.
Not of you.
Not of your provider.
Not of your baby.

Healing is influenced by anatomy, timing, technique, and individual physiology.

What matters most is a provider who:
• Understands evolving science
• Uses the right modality
• Has a strong pre- and post-release team
• Adjusts based on your child’s needs — not generic rules

You and your baby are learning this together.
And you’re doing an incredible job.

The first two weeks after a tongue or lip tie release are the make-or-break window for healing — but most parents never get told what to focus on.

This isn’t just about the wound site.
It’s about helping your baby learn:
✔️ new mobility
✔️ better latch
✔️ smoother coordination
✔️ reduced tension
✔️ and long-term oral function

That’s why we layer care intentionally — CST, SOT-based chiropractic support, oral-motor work, suck training, and functional feeding guidance. No two babies get the same plan, because no two bodies move or heal the same way.

When parents understand the 0–14 day window, everything changes:
✨ feeding improves
✨ sleep improves
✨ tension drops
✨ healing is smoother
✨ results last

A release can be life-changing when after-care is just as structured as the procedure itself.

Parents, I’m curious:
When you first heard the words “lip tie” or “tongue tie,” what confused you the most?

Was it…
🍼 whether your baby actually needed a release
🤔 how to choose the right provider
💬 conflicting advice from different professionals
📌 the stretches
😣 or the aftercare timeline?

Tell me in the comments, your questions help me create better resources for you.

If a provider tells you, “No need to stretch after a release,” that’s a red flag you shouldn’t ignore.

The mouth is the fastest healing part of the body, which means it can reattach quickly.

Here’s why stretches matter:
➡️ They prevent re-adhesion
➡️ They support healthy healing
➡️ They help your baby relearn mobility, latch, and function

Many ENTs don’t recommend stretches—not because they’re unnecessary, but because they simply aren’t trained in the functional, oral-motor side of feeding.

When done correctly (and gently), stretches protect your investment, your baby’s comfort, and their long-term feeding skills.

Your baby deserves a release that supports mobility, not reattachment.

Many parents assume the front (anterior) or back (posterior) location of a tongue or lip tie determines how serious it is—but that’s not true.

What really matters is how the tie affects your child’s function:
• Feeding & weight gain
• Breathing coordination
• Oral rest posture
• Mobility & range
• Sleep
• Speech development
• Neck tension & overall body compensation

No two ties are the same. A quick visual check isn’t enough, only a full functional evaluation can guide the right decision for your child.

Functional impact always matters more than location. Always look at the whole child, not just the tie.

Many times, lip or cheek ties are overlooked. Even if your child’s airway is fine, functional issues may appear as:
• Difficulty coordinating suck–swallow–breath
• Gagging, reflux, or choking
• Constipation or bowel irregularities
• Neck tension, head-turning preference, or asymmetry

These issues often point to a restricted oral tissue affecting the vagus nerve, which influences digestion, feeding, and overall parasympathetic function.

💬 I want to hear from you: Have you noticed any of these signs in your child? Drop a comment, I’ll personally provide guidance on whether a functional evaluation might help.
