Meet Jessica: “Nipple damage from a piercing means I can only feed on one side”

What is tongue tie?

Tongue-tie, or ankyloglossia, is where the strip of skin connecting the baby’s tongue to the bottom of their mouth is shorter than usual. Some babies can have a very slight tongue tie and are still able to breastfeed very successfully, whereas other babies can have a very severe tongue tie leading to a shallow and inefficient latch.
