The Hype and Myths About Tongue Ties with Twin Mom Danielle Ferguson

In this episode, I sit down with Danielle Ferguson—a speech and language pathologist and fellow twin mom—to dig into the hot-button topic of tongue tie, lip tie, and buckle tie. We talk honestly about the myths, the hype, and the reality behind these diagnoses. As an IBCLC, I emphasize the importance of functional assessment over simply looking at structure, and Danielle brings her professional insight on feeding challenges from her work in the field. We also share personal stories and highlight the critical difference between when a medical intervention is truly needed and when over diagnosis may be doing more harm than good.EPISODE THEMES 📝Debunking Myths About Tongue TieChallenges in the Lactation FieldThe Complexity of Tongue Tie RevisionsIdentifying and Addressing Feeding IssuesInsurance and Medical NecessityGIVEAWAYS 💰🎉 YOU'RE INVITED: Need more support, join us each month for our Twiniversity Virtual Meeting.
