D-Restricted Ltd:®
Tongue Strengthening Exercises

These exercises are found in your aftercare paperwork I gave you at your consultation.

Although doing these is absolutely optional, my recommendation is not to delay, and to commence from day 2. 

This will enable your baby to get the most benefit from the division and give him/her a 'head-start' in terms of learning ability on their feeding journey. Exercises are designed to be a playful, bonding and learning experience-If you are short on time or too busy we do not want to do these in a time-pressured situation. These exercises are designed to mimic the different aspects that the tongue uses to feed; the last thing we want to do is put your little one off feeding.

To be clear; I DO NOT advocate any form of exercise or practice that involves touching or interfering with an open wound for the reasons discussed at your consultation.
