Finding Breastfeeding Support
If you are struggling with nursing issues here are some places you can seek support.
1) La Leche League www.llli.org. – Worldwide Breastfeeding Support Organization
2) Ask your pediatrician – Ask to be connected to a Lactation Consultant experienced in tongue-tie & oversupply. Ask about a nipple shield early on.
3) Seek out a Pediatric Dentist – Do you suspect tongue-tie? After speaking with your pediatrician and LC if you are still suspecting tongue-tie seek out a Pediatric Dentist for a 2nd opinion. There are different types of tongue-ties and they can have different levels of severity. A Pediatric Dentist knows how to properly diagnose ties and if it is even necessary to correct.
4) Pediatric Doctors Offices and Hospitals offer excellent classes and support groups for breastfeeding moms.
