How Tongue-Tie Develops in Babies
During early fetal development, a baby’s tongue forms from tissues in the floor of the mouth. As the tongue grows and lifts away, a small fold of tissue known as the lingual frenulum remains underneath. This band connects the underside of the tongue to the floor of the mouth and helps stabilise movement as the tongue learns to lift, suck, and swallow.
How Osteopathy Supports Babies After Tongue-Tie Release
A tongue-tie release, known as a frenulotomy, is a quick and effective way to free the tongue from its restriction. Yet for many babies, the procedure is only the beginning of recovery. After the release, the tongue, jaw, and neck muscles must learn to work in a new way. The baby’s nervous system, which has become accustomed to compensating for restricted tongue movement, now needs time and gentle support to adjust to this new freedom.
