How Can a Tongue Tie Affect Breast and Bottle Feeding?

During infancy, the tongue needs full range of motion to create adequate suction to transfer milk from the breast. The front-mid tongue draws in, cups and compresses breast tissue while strength and flexibility in the mid-portion of the tongue is needed to create the negative pressure to remove milk from the breast.
A baby with a tongue tie may be unable to latch deeply onto the breast, leading to possible nipple pain and trauma. When the tongue cannot extend up and over the lower jaw, a baby’s latch may feel uncomfortable. Maintaining a latch could pose as a challenge for these babies; some may remain attached to the breast for long periods of time without adequately transferring milk.
When the suction is compromised and a baby repetitively loses the seal at the breast or bottle, milk can consistently spill out the sides of the mouth and air may be swallowed, leading to excess gas and fussiness. A tongue tie may impact oral motor coordination and feeding efficiency at the breast or bottle.
