It sounds like you called it correctly. The clicking and the chewing and
problems latching are alls signs of tongue tie, either posterior or
obvious to the tip. I give moms information from the Breastfeeding
Answer Book and use the photos from the BF Atlas showing tongue ties. I
make several copies at once and give these out for the parents to think
and decide and talk to their HCP. That way it isn't your opinion or just
some crazy talk. I also gave out a referral list of experienced IBCLCs
and LLL in our community when I worked in a hospital so that women had
help when they got discharged if they needed or wanted it.
Mom may have not been that committed or overwhelmed by all the things
that have happened during the birth and afterwards. You can't make
people breastfeed, we can only offer information and the best help we
can give. Many women go into this saying they "will try" and trying
often means one time and if it is easy. You got to let it go.
