In case you haven’t heard, we’re expanding our community and we’re SO excited. Sadly, a friend and long time patient is moving up north. While in Texas, she’s established an incredible business and network of moms through Stroller Strides. After literally years of wanting to get involved with this group, I was finally able to [...]

As people have followed our journey with Ellington’s tongue tie, I get several phone calls or texts or emails a day from people who believe their child may be tongue tied too. In fact, our lactation consultant came over the other day, and we were laughing about how she had gone to her nursing moms’ [...]
How did we diagnose the tongue tie? And, what new information did I learn that has changed the way I now diagnose it and makes me feel like I’ve probably overlooked/missed many of these ties in the past? The sad part is that the diagnosis is pretty simple! I, and many of my colleagues (chiropractic [...]
“Ankyloglossia”, sound familiar? It didn’t to us either- I mean yes we’d heard about it in school- but, often, like with many other things, until you’ve personally dealt with them they don’t mean as much to you.

What did you give them first? Did you make your own food? And on the list goes… As email after email after text [...]
Late last night, I came home and before heading to bed I did a last minute Facebook scan. I was stunned to see that a friend and office client was being bashed simply because she asked everyone through her status to pray for her daughter’s high fever, and then mentioned she had taken her in [...]
Sorry I have been absent from my own blog… I’ve been busy doing other things, like sleeping, sleeping and waking up from sleeping. Oh, and I forgot, the part where I try to convince myself to eat and then work really hard to keep it all down and not run to the bathroom. Oh the [...]
I was reading through the American Academy of Family Physicians’ Position Paper on doctors supporting breastfeeding. I hear many times a week, unfortunately, from patients whose doctors are not informed on the benefits of breastfeeding. And, sadly, these doctors do not know how to educate and support their parents so that their pediatric patients get the [...]
