When To Treat

If you have been referred to AirSync or found us from a particular search, the answer is NOW. The sooner the better! There is no watchful waiting. You have been referred or your curiosity has been piqued because you or another provider have noticed smoke signals or potential fires. With every bit of dysfunction, there are compensations and adaptations that come at a price. With breastfeeding, this means NOW. The longer the waiting with a newborn some of the risks include premature cessation of breastfeeding, alteration to milk supply, sudden plateauing of baby’s weight gain, GI distress, and colic, to name a few. Research shows that the human will never outgrow the tongue-tie; the human will figure out a way to make it work but at a price. With children, you want to address these concerns ASAP as well to protect cognitive and physical development, growth, sleep, and overall health.
