Listen "25. Tongue-Tie Procedure Not Recommended - Expert Review of the New AAP Guidelines"
Episode Synopsis
The American Academy of Pediatrics released a post on 7/30/24 reading "Tongue-Tie Procedure Not Recommended". It refers to their new guidelines recently released on recommendations for treating tongue-tie. As two physician moms who have expertise in this area, we had some thoughts. Listen to this episode for our expert review of the new guidelines.
We are both Doctor's of Osteopathic Medicine, meaning throughout our physician medical training we had additional hands-on training focusing on the movement patterns of bodily tissues - including the mouth! Andrea even had further training in osteopathic manual medicine, most recently focusing her clinical practice on mothers and babies often treating oral motor dysfunctions adjunctively. As a pediatrician, Kristin has also dealt with tongue-ties.
