Monica Hogan will be presenting a Webinar on: “Beyond the Frenotomy – Supporting the Breastfeeding Dyad”

Breastfeeding challenges linked to tongue tie require ongoing support from health professionals, extending beyond the initial diagnosis. The focus includes oral function, maternal experience, and feeding outcomes over time, with practical strategies for collaborative care, post-frenotomy follow-up, and empowering families.

Objectives for this talk are:

• Describe the impact of tongue tie on breastfeeding

• Apply evidence informed approaches to support families

• Strengthen collaborative multidisciplinary care pathways
