Hello! We have been seeing Simon for adjustments to assist with our 9-week old’s tongue tie. Also has a lip tie. Feeding has always been pretty good… comfortable for me and he is easily putting on weight. However wind/gas has been an issue and I notice he seems to be tiring from feeds (difficult to separate from normal newborn tiredness though..).
As parents we are reading up as much as we can to understand tongue tie and all possible effects over the long term. Post-appointments we are seeing good results from improved breathing, latch strength greater range of movement in the tongue. His snuffly nose really clears up after an adjustment too.
A lingering question seems to be whether adjustments can fully address potential issues or if there is ever a reason to combine body work with a cut to release. I suspect I already know the answer but in the spirit of “all questions welcome” I’m putting it out there!
Another query I have is around identifying whether methylation and homocysteine are contributing factors now. Should I be getting a blood test to identify pathway issues so that I can help my child through breastfeeding or just focus on getting the nutrition right?
Many thanks,
Chelsea & Michael
