Alyssa also shares why release procedures aren’t always urgent and how bodywork, oral motor exercises, and a deeper understanding of infant physiology can empower parents to make informed decisions.Mentioned in the Episode:Alyssa’s Website: https://www.undoeroftots.com/Free Tongue Tie Red Flags Guide: https://www.undoeroftots.com/freebieFollow Alyssa on Instagram: @undoeroftotsMedical Advice Disclaimer: This podcast is for educational and informational purposes only and is not medical advice.
