Ties are real.

They can have a real and significant impact on infant feeding via bottle or breast.

These photos were taken 12 days apart showing the before and after impact of a lip and tongue tie revision.

This sweet girl was only in the .6th percentile for weight despite breastfeeding and bottle feeding donor milk.

Her doctor discounted her mother Jordan’s concerns and ignorantly told Jordan that her milk wasn’t good enough for her baby and formula was the solution since essentially her milk was lacking nutritional value.

Jordan knew this didn’t sound right and so she sought out a Lactation consultant.

Her sweet girl was finally diagnosed with a tongue tie and lip tie by the Lactation consultant, after her ties were totally missed by her doctor.
She was able to get the ties released soon after and gained nearly 2 pounds in 12 days!

Her mother Jordan said “I noticed an immediate difference in her. After 24 hours she had even started to plump up in the face!”

There are so many stories out there of so called “breastfeeding starvation” when these families are actually victims of the pervasive breastfeeding ignorance of health care providers.
These are not failures of breastfeeding or mothers but instead a failure of the health care providers.

Doctors aren’t trained in Lactation and many are failing their patients as a result.

Placing the blame on mothers and pretending that they’re ignorant or “brainwashed” in to breastfeeding at the detriment of their babies, is wrong!

This little girl did not have to go through this. The providers who saw her should have caught these issues before they caused problems.

The solution to these issues is to train health care providers in Lactation and/or have them refer out to Lactation specialists when there are issues!

This little girl is back to exclusively breastfeeding since her tie revision and is gaining weight beautifully.

Did your baby have any ties?
Who finally discovered their ties?

😱😱 How can we expect poison to help our children when they are sick?! This children's ibuprofen has aspartame, the one ingredient linked to the MOST adverse effects reported to the FDA, one of which is seizures.

So if a child gets a seizure when they're sick, the fever is blamed without any question into what OTC products were used.

Then if we add in the potential health effects of the other synthetic sweetener acesulfame potassium, plus the ammonium, synthetic food dyes and flavors, and SLS which is used to make hand soaps foam/bubble, we get a very toxic product that's used to synthetically stop the body's natural function and block receptors to make the appearance that it works. But it works against the body's natural function and poisons the body, thereby making things worse.

God designed fever as a natural healing mechanism. There are benefits to it and there are natural options for helping our children's body in these situations.
