I honestly thought we were finally getting to the finish line. My baby was 3 weeks old and breastfeeding had been… brutal. Not the “slightly uncomfortable at first” kind of pain everyone talks about. I’m talking toe-curling pain. Cracked nipples. Dreading every latch. Long feeds that never seemed to fully satisfy her. And somehow still ending every day wondering: “Why does she still seem hungry?” Thankfully, we had been working with Nichole (an IBCLC) and for the first time since giving birth, I finally felt like someone was actually looking at the FULL picture. Not just my nipples. Not just baby’s weight. Not just “is the latch technically on.” She watched a full feeding. Checked milk transfer. Evaluated oral function. Looked at body tension. Explained why my baby was compensating during feeds. Why she was slipping shallow. Why my nipples were getting destroyed. Why feeding was taking forever. We also started working with an osteopathic physician for bodywork, and honestly? Things WERE improving. But not enough. The pain was still there. Milk transfer was still poor. And both Nichole and the osteopath agreed: there was likely a significant posterior tongue tie contributing to everything. Even our pediatrician agreed baby had a tongue tie and recommended we see an ENT. Nichole gently warned us ahead of time: “Sometimes ENTs in our area don’t fully address posterior tongue ties. Sometimes they’ll say there’s nothing to release. Sometimes they only release the very front portion.” But as parents, you WANT to trust that if a specialist says they released it… then it was released. So we went. The ENT looked quickly and told us the tie was “moderate” and should be released. We expected: support explanation aftercare instructions post-op exercises a real procedure Instead… There was a tiny snip. Baby barely reacted. No bleeding. No stretches. No exercises. And we were basically sent on our way. At first I thought: “Maybe this is normal?” But deep down something felt… off. When I reached back out to Nichole, she listened to everything and gently explained what she was concerned about: the posterior restriction likely had NOT actually been released. And unfortunately… she was right. We ended up seeing a highly recommended pediatric dentist afterward who performed a full functional release. The difference was almost immediate. Within HOURS: feeding felt different. The latch was deeper. My pain dramatically improved. Baby transferred milk better. Feeds became more efficient. And for the first time since birth, things actually started feeling easier. Now baby is gaining weight beautifully. And honestly? I keep thinking about what would have happened if we HADN’T been working with an experienced lactation consultant who understood oral function. I would have assumed everything had been fully corrected. I would have blamed myself when the pain continued. I probably would have stayed stuck triple feeding for weeks or months. This is why you need someone like Nichole or one of her partners on your team if feeding is not going well. Not because every baby needs a release. And not because every provider approaches ties the same way. But because feeding problems deserve a FULL functional evaluation, not just a quick glance at anatomy. And because moms deserve support from providers who understand how all the pieces connect together. If you’re struggling with painful feeds, poor milk transfer, slow weight gain, suspected oral ties, or exhausting triple feeding schedules, her team offers in-home, office, and telehealth lactation support across DFW. They even accept many commercial insurance plans including BCBS/Anthem, UnitedHealthcare, Cigna, and Aetna.
