Breastfeeding struggles are often brushed off as “normal” postpartum challenges, but what if there’s more going on beneath the surface?

In this episode, I’m joined by Alyssa, speech-language pathologist and founder of Undoer of Tots, to unpack the often-overlooked connection between oral ties, body tension, breastfeeding difficulties, sleep struggles, and infant development.

After navigating her own painful postpartum feeding journey with tongue ties, mastitis, multiple providers, and unanswered questions, Alyssa became passionate about helping other moms better understand what may be driving feeding issues in their babies.

We discuss what oral ties actually are, common signs of feeding dysfunction, what frenectomies involve, and why tongue ties are often just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to underlying body tension and airway development. Alyssa also shares why release procedures aren’t always urgent and how bodywork, oral motor exercises, and a deeper understanding of infant physiology can empower parents to make informed decisions.
