  • Tongue and Lip Ties: Best Evidence June 16, 2015
    Tongue and Lip Ties: Best Evidence June 16, 2015 limited elevation in tongue tied baby Tongue and Lip Ties: Best Evidence By: Lee-Ann Grenier Tongue and lip tie (often abbreviated to TT/LT) have become buzzwords among lactation consultants bloggers and new mothers. For many these are strange new words despite the fact that it is a relatively common condition. Treating tongue tie fell out of medical favour in the early 1950s. In breastfeeding circles, it was talked about occasionally, but until recently few health care professionals screened babies for tongue tie and it was frequently overlooked as a cause of common breastfeeding difficulties. In the last few years tongue tie and the related condition lip tie have exploded into the consciousness of mothers and breastfeeding helpers. So why all the fuss about tongue and lip ties all of a sudden? Tongue tie seems to be a relatively common problem, affecting 4-11%1 of the population and it can have a drastic impact on breastfeeding. The presence of tongue tie triples the risk of weaning in the first week of life.2 Here in Alberta it has been challenging to find competent assessment and treatment, prompting several Alberta mothers and their babies to fly to New York in 2011 and 2012 to receive treatment. The dedication and persistence of these mothers has spurred action on providing education and treatment options for Alberta families. In August of 2012, The Breastfeeding Action Committee of Edmonton (BACE) brought Dr. Lawrence Kotlow to Edmonton to provide information and training to area health care providers.

Tisdell Professor of Adult Education Dissertation Adviser Chair of Committee Doctoral Program Coordinator Robin Redmon Wright Assistant Professor of Adult Education Ann Swartz Senior Lecturer, RN-BS Program Janet Fogg Assistant Professor of Nursing Hershey Coordinator *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School. iii ABSTRACT The purpose of this narrative study was two-fold: (a) to examine how breastfeeding mothers learn they are members of a marginalized group; and (b) to investigate how some of these mothers move from marginalization to activism. This study was grounded in two interconnected theoretical frameworks: critical feminism (also with attention to embodied learning) and women’s emancipatory learning in relation to breastfeeding and activism. There were 11 participants in the study, chosen according to purposeful criteria related to the study’s purpose; they represent diversity in age, race/ethnicity, sexual orientation, religion, and educational background. Data collection included narrative semi-structured interviews, which were co-constructed between the researcher and the participants, and researcher-generated artifacts. Both narrative and constant-comparative analysis were used to analyze the data. There were three sets of findings that emerged from the data.

  • Tongues Tied About Tongue-Tie
    Tongues tied about tongue-tie An essay by Dr Pamela Douglas Medical Director, The Possums Clinic, Brisbane, Australia www.possumsonline.com; www.pameladouglas.com.au Assoc Prof (Adj) Centre for Health Practice Innovation, Griffith University Senior Lecturer, Discipline of General Practice, The University of Queensland ‘I HOPE WE’RE NOT boring you,’ I say politely to my friend’s husband. (Since boredom isn’t an option for my husband, I don’t even glance his way.) We have to speak loudly because it’s lively tonight at Zio Mario’s. ‘No no no, please go ahead,’ he replies affably, sipping his shiraz. So my friend and I eat tiramisu and continue our conversation, leaving the men to make their own. Threads of silver wind through her dark shoulder length hair. She’s been a hard-working GP for thirty years, about the same as me. Like me, she’s done her PhD, she’s affiliated with the university, she researches and publishes in the international medical literature. ‘I’m shocked,’ she repeats seriously. I’d been telling her about the stream of parents I see in our clinic whose babies either have had, or have been advised to have, deep incisions into the tissue under the tongue and also under the upper lip, often by laser. I am aware that these deep cuts, and the prescribed tearing apart of the new wound multiple times a day over the following weeks, may worsen breastfeeding outcomes for some. I’d been inclined to think of this phenomenon as certain health professionals’ earnest and contagious belief in the power of the ‘quick fix’.
