Pediatric dentist Dr. Fatina of Gramercy Kids Smiles became trained in tongue-tie and lip-tie treatments after going through diagnosis and treatment with her own son. She’ll explain the effects that a tongue or lip tie can have on feeding and dental care, as well as treatment options for parents to consider.

We’ll also be joined by guest speaker Jada Shapiro, lactation consultant and founder of boober, a destination for new parents to find pregnancy to postpartum classes and on-demand care providers. Jada will share her perspective on diagnosing a tie, and how tongue and lip ties can affect breastfeeding and bottle feeding.
