Tongue-tie is a condition that the frenulum attaches to the tip of the tongue and may be tight, thick or short. Tongue tie’s can cause poor breastfeeding as well as nipple pain.

We support all feeding preferences and are here to help. Our experienced, board-certified lactation nurses are here to help you establish and promote exclusive breastfeeding, adequate milk supply and to identify and correct any issues or barriers to breastfeed your baby successfully. Our lactation consultants are here to support you after you go home.
There is an alternative to baby formula that is far more nutritious: milk from a human milk bank. A donor milk bank is a service established to collect, screen, process and distribute donated human milk. Donor milk banks accept milk from lactating mothers who have undergone careful screening, similar to the way blood banks screen donors. The milk is donated to a central milk bank for processing, then is made available for purchase by hospitals and individuals for feeding sick and fragile infants.
Consider donating your extra milk to help sick and fragile infants, It›s a life-saving gift and the Human Milk Depot at Providence Regional can help send your milk where it is needed most.
