KTLC Episode 20 Update from the Traveling LC

Katie Oshita RN, BSN, IBCLC is on the road (updating from Tampa Florida) again. In this episode she covers tongue tie from a mom and provider prospective. Katie's daughters are 13 and 10, both undergoing tongue 👅 tie releases, functional frenuplasty aka Zaghi Method, and 1 upper lip tie release by Dr Maggie Davis. Katie talks about Myofunctional therapy, Myofascial release, palate expansion, pain management and how it was to be a mom watching her daughter's releases (spoiler alert: super cool as a provider, terrible as a mom!). See how tongue tie doesn't go away or stretch, the compensations just get bigger and affect daily life more.
