Episode 53: Mom Journey - Untying Oral Tethers w/ Cassandra Thompson
Mom Journey, Tongue Tie August 8, 2021
Cassandra Thompson is the mother to Mari, a mom advocate, and creator of the Unbound Network. Cassandra is here today to share with us her non-medical perspective of ties as a mom who has experiences a lot of unnecessary obstacles to breastfeeding her child.
Cassandra began sharing her journey with her daughter on Instagram just two months ago, but already she’s putting into words so many of the struggles parents of children with tongue, lip and buccal ties face.
We explore Mari’s issues with ties from birth until her current age of 14 months. And the journey isn’t over yet! Cassandra shares the emotional aspect, the practical challenges, the complexity of finding the right treatment, and so much more. Her story is her own, so it may not be what yours is or will be like.
In this episode, you will hear:
- The most common issues with getting ties diagnosed and treated
- Why bodywork is important
- What to expect when your baby has ties
- Tips for navigating medical gaslighting
