Struggling with Breastfeeding?

You aren’t alone. Many mothers struggle with breastfeeding their baby for a variety of reasons. Poor nursing is often related to tethered oral issues in the baby. We strive to solve those issues to facilitate a better nursing experience for mother and baby and promote ideal growth and development for the baby.

helping infants

An infant’s struggle with breastfeeding can often be solved by a lactation consultant or bodyworker helping with posture and latching. However, there are cases when a baby’s lip or tongue are tethered in a way that makes nursing painful or ineffective. In these instances, a release (Frenectomy) of their lip or tongue attachment (frenum) may be necessary.

Helping Mothers

A frenectomy can help mothers relieve the pain of breastfeeding and regain healthy nipples and breasts, stimulate milk production by adequate stimulation, encourage bonding with her baby, and ensure adequate feeding and growth of the baby.

laser treatment

All frenectomy procedures are completed using a precision CO2 laser. This laser does not emit heat or water and cauterizes as it works. As a result, you experience maximum comfort and minimal trauma, bleeding, and scar tissue.
