Tongue tie Referrals
Tongue tie referrals are welcome from parents, allied healthcare professionals and breastfeeding specialists via telephone 07910608179 or online booking via this site.
If an answerphone message is left I aim to get back to you the same working day.
An appointment includes a full consultation, tongue function assessment and the division procedure should D.Warren & the parent(s) consent to do so. An appointment can be expected to be up to 75 minutes long in duration. Full contact details for continued support are given, alongside written information/guidance to take home with you.
Massage
& Yoga
Baby Massage helps improve relaxation, encouraging longer sleep duration, helps to relieve digestive struggles (such as colic, teething, trapped wind, hiccoughs, crying and constipation), stimulates all of the major bodily systems, is relaxing and helps to strengthen the bond between parent and baby.
Baby & Toddler Yoga offers a fun and interactive session. This yoga uses the 'hatha' approach which is very gentle and enables you to assist your little one into poses, thus helping develop milestones and trust.
Yoga Babes from 8 weeks old, Yoga Totz from 5 months to 2 years old.
(n.b: this Yoga is to benefit the infant, it is NOT adult yoga with the infant in attendance)
For babies who are experiencing a tongue restriction, they may have problems with their latch onto either a breast or bottle, alongside additional structural &/or alignment issues; resulting from a restrictive frenulum and/or birthing interventions.
