Do you suspect that your baby has a tongue-tie, however; you're not sure? A tongue-tie may be getting in the way of you having the best breastfeeding experience with your newborn. Here are five questions to ask yourself that can help you determine if you should schedule a consultation with Dr. Judy Strutz and her team. 

1. Does your baby struggle to latch? They may latch on for a short amount of time and then let go after just a few minutes. A tongue-tie can impact your baby from being able to be in the right position to nurse. 
2. Is your baby gaining the weight they should be? Babies who have a tongue tie may be struggling to latch and therefore are not getting the amount of milk they need to gain the weight that is so critical at this time. 
3. Does your baby seem to want to eat all the time? If this is occurring, it could mean that when they latch, they are not getting the right amount of milk, so then they feel hungry more often. 
4. Do you have extreme nipple pain? A latch that is not correct can begin to cause problems for you as well. While a little bit of pain is normal, excessive pain is not.
