Infant feeding

Feeding your baby can feel quite overwhelming at first – whether you are breastfeeding, bottle feeding or a combination of both.

Tongue-tie and breastfeeding

Tongue-tie is when the strip of tissue attaching the tongue to the floor of the mouth (called the frenulum) is shorter than normal.

It can make it harder for your baby to breastfeed by preventing them from latching on properly, which can then lead to sore or cracked nipples.
