🎙️ The Truth About Tongue Ties — And Why They Matter for Breastfeeding
Chillin’ with Ceres Chill – Episode 10
Guest: Angela Das, IBCLC + Founder of Motherhood Untamed
Is your baby struggling to latch, always fussy at the breast, or not gaining weight as expected? It could be more than just a phase. In this eye-opening episode, we’re talking all things tongue ties, oral restrictions, and feeding struggles with Angela Das, IBCLC and founder of Motherhood Untamed.
Angela shares her personal journey through feeding challenges with her children, Kolten and Gabby, and how it led her to specialize in functional oral assessments and holistic lactation care. Whether you’re breastfeeding, pumping, or combo feeding, this conversation will help you understand what’s really going on beneath the surface.
🍼 We cover:
What tongue, lip, and cheek ties actually are
How ties impact both breastfeeding and bottle-feeding
Why proper diagnosis is so often missed or misunderstood
What to expect from a tongue tie release (frenotomy)
How to advocate for your baby when no one seems to listen
The must-have providers to have on your care team
Angela also shares top resources for parents—including symptom trackers, oral exercises, and trusted voices in the field.
