Tongue Tie Essentials: Diagnosis, Treatment, and Scope of Practice
Fawn Rosenberg, DMD, FAGD with Heather Bingham, IBCLC, NMC-BC
What are the signs and symptoms of tongue tie in the infant and mother? Learn about the physical diagnosis of tongue and lip tie, treatment options, and post-operative exercises. This session will also include discussion of scope of practice—which professionals can diagnose, and how perinatal professionals and volunteers who are not medical professionals can recognize signs of tongue tie, talk with mothers, and make referrals without diagnosing.
12:00 - 1:00 pm Lunch, Exhibitors, Silent Auction
1:00 - 2:30 pm Session 3: Afternoon Breakouts (Choice of one)
Breakout 3A.Lactation support is based on evidence-based principles. Other health professionals may not have
the same knowledge base and background as lactation providers, so there may be discrepancies
and differences of opinions on how to handle certain breastfeeding issues. Which approaches are most effective to enhance evidence-based practice in an ethical manner, and maintain a positive professional relationship with colleagues? Which ones are potentially ineffective? Ideas will be shared, and some practical solutions discussed.
