WHAT IS A TONGUE TIE? -
A tongue tie is when a thin membrane of skin (lingual frenulum) attaches the tongue to the floor of the mouth or the lower gum ridge, causing restriction in a tongue's movement. It can be attached either at the very front tip of the tongue (anterior) the middle or at the back of the tongue (posterior).

TONGUE TIE and FEEDING -
Babies need to be able to move their tongue's freely to effectively latch to either a breast or a bottle and to remove adequate amounts of milk whilst feeding. Some babies have a long stretchy frenulum, which doesn't restrict their tongue's function and they are able to feed very well.

Babies with a restrictive frenulum (tongue-tie) often experience lots of feeding difficulties.

DIFFICULTIES FOR BABY -

Unable to latch to the breast -- Latches with difficulty -- Falls asleep quickly -- Unsatisfied and always hungry -- Inadequate weight gain -- Loosing weight -- Slipping off the breast -- Pulling off the breast -- Leaking and dribbling during feeds -- Clicking sound during feeds -- Coughing and choking during feeds -- Colic and wind -- Reflux and or vomiting.

DIFFICULTIES FOR MUM -

Painful latch -- Sore cracked and or bleeding nipples -- Engorgement and or Mastitis -- Misshapen lipstick shaped nipples after feeds -- Having to use nipple shields -- Prolonged feeds -- Continuous feeding -- Exhaustion -- Diminished milk supply -- Having to pump/express to maintain supply.

We are recommended Tara through a family member as our little one wasn’t properly latching and found it very painful and uncomfortable for both me and my child. The service very professional and informative and would highly recommend as it solve the issue completely.

Tara was amazing. She talked us through everything in detail from start to finish, which really helped put us at ease. She has a lovely manner about her and made us feel comfortable throughout the whole process. Tara also provided lots of helpful hints and tips for us to take away, which we really appreciated. We are very grateful for her care, support, and expertise. A day after reaching out we had an appointment booked in and the fact it was at home rather than a clinic was so convenient. She is clearly an expert at what she does and we are so pleased we found her.

Tara was great with our little one, who had her tongue tie cut. In what can she a stressful experience for both the child and parents, Tara is always professional and reassuring throughout.

She was great! Very punctual and professional. Explained all the procedure and the potential risks as well as benefits, and the likelihood of anything going wrong and how to handle it. She was super quick and experienced. Would highly recommend, she was amazing.

Tara was great - very fast to respond and was able to see us straight away to diagnose our son’s tongue tie. Tara was very reassuring and explained everything about the procedure clearly, and took excellent care of baby throughout.

When our baby was born with a Tongue Tie on Thursday, and so feeding was toe curlingly painful (it was reducing me to tears), Tara was able to quickly come out on the Sunday and do the necessary procedure. She also quickly responded to follow-up questions. When I was back in Watford hospital and mentioned to the Midwives who had done it, it was very reassuring to hear they all recommended and trusted Tara. Thanks again for your help!

Tara came to assess the tongue tie for my baby. The procedure was quick and after a few days to a week I saw improvement with the breastfeeding, so very pleased it helped! :).

We had a great experience with Tara. She was very responsive from initial communication and shared helpful information about tongue ties and the procedure to remove them ahead of our appointment. When she arrived, she immediately put us at ease - she's incredibly warm and a great communicator. She spent a good amount of time walking us through her assessment of our son's tongue tie and what we could expect during and after the procedure. She also followed up after our appointment and was available over text for any questions, which we really appreciated!

Tara was absolutely fantastic and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for tongue-tie support. She was able to come promptly to help my 2-day-old baby, which made a huge difference. From the moment I contacted her, I felt supported and reassured. She clearly explained how she would assess the situation and provide appropriate care based on her evaluation. Tara is extremely experienced, and as a parent navigating tongue-tie issues for the first time, I felt completely comfortable asking questions and trusting her guidance. Thank you, Tara - you’ve really helped set my little one on a successful feeding journey moving forward. .

Called Tara after recommendation from a friend. She had availability to come and assess our 4 week old 2 days later, at our house. She ran through a number of questions and then assessed the tongue physically and quickly deduced that it was a posterior tongue tie, explaining everything patiently and clearly. Next she performed the procedure which was extremely quick and then stayed with us while baby settled and fed, to check the success of the procedure. Baby is now 11 weeks old and feeding perfectly.

I was quite nervous about having my baby’s tongue tie procedure done, but from the moment Tara arrived, she completely put my mind at ease. She was incredibly reassuring, professional, and clearly very experienced. She took the time to explain everything properly and made the whole experience feel calm and manageable. Tara was so gentle and caring with my baby, and I felt fully supported throughout the procedure. I’m really grateful for her kindness, professionalism, and the confidence she gave me on the day. I would highly recommend her to any parent considering a tongue tie procedure for their baby.

After being informed of our little boys tongue tie in the hospital, we reached out to Tara who was very quick to respond. Tara saw us within the week, and administered the procedure there and then. She was supportive, empathetic and very calm. After a week to 10 days, we saw a noticeable difference with his feeding. Tara also followed up to make sure everything was ok and if we needed any extra support. Thanks Tara. .

I cannot recommend Tara enough. She was a specialist and midwife for my daughter’s tongue tie, and after reading so many excellent reviews from other parents, I decided to book an appointment with her because I suspected my daughter had a tongue tie too. Tara managed to book us in within just 2 days. During the appointment, she thoroughly listened to all of my concerns, explained everything clearly, and patiently answered every question I had. She guided us step by step through the whole process and made us feel so comfortable and reassured. All of my worries disappeared after speaking with her, and we decided to go ahead with the procedure. The procedure itself only took a few seconds and went so smoothly thanks to Tara’s professionalism, communication, and gentle approach. Thank you, Tara, for your amazing care and support. We are so grateful. .

We had our son’s tongue tie snipped by Tara. She was very thorough and explained everything in great detail. The procedure was quick and she stayed to make sure that he and I were both settled and happy. I would highly recommend Tara to everyone.

A huge thank you to Tara for providing an incredible service for our new born baby daughter. We were highly recommended Tara from a friend and had a great experience. She was able to identify our daughter had her tongue tied and was able to treat her immediately and in a stress free way and able to make us feel very comfortable with the procedure. Thank you so much and we could not recommend Tara more to you. She also provided great after care with check ins and general advice on the early part of journey with a new born.

Tara managed to fit me in only a few hours after I reached out. She was very warm and kind both to me and the baby. She explained her findings thoroughly and gave a good description of what to expect with the procedure and the plan if there were any complications. I felt confident in the decision to go ahead with the procedure and confident in her as a clinician with extensive experience. I couldn’t have asked for more from the whole encounter. Thank you very much for helping us, I would happily recommend you to any of my friends who need assistance with managing tongue tie in their babies.

Tara was wonderful. She made me and my daughter feel so comfortable. She explained everything so well and was very patient and took her time. Everything went very smoothly.
Leah Watt

I was recommended Tara from a health visitor and honestly it was the best decision I have made for my baby. This is my third child but first one with a tongue tie. I called Tara and she came the same day. She was so informative and compassionate and caring towards me and my son. She assessed my son and gave me such a detailed explanation and such useful information before the procedure. The procedure was quick and done so professionally. She picked my son up immediately in order to comfort him. I would definitely recommend to use Tara for any tongue tie situation. It was also so comforting being at my own home and in my son’s comfort area. It made the whole traumatic experience more settling and comfortable. Thank you again Tara.Moreexpand_more
