Can tongue tie be prevented? Episode 122

In this episode, host Lisa Paladino, CNM, IBCLC addresses a growing concern in the tongue tie and breastfeeding community: unproven claims about preventing tongue tie. With compassion for families and commitment to evidence-based care, Lisa discusses:

• How unverified social media claims can unintentionally turn into perceived “facts”

• Why ambiguous or absolute prevention messaging can lead to shame and blame for parents

• The difference between empowerment and guilt-based health messages

• A respectful, evidence-informed reframe of how we talk about risk, optimization, and biology

This episode is for clinicians, parents, and anyone who wants to understand how to navigate health conversations with integrity.
