Especially if your little one can only tolerate soft or processed foods, struggles with chewing, or has always struggled to gain weight, a tongue tie could be the culprit.<\/p>\n<h2><em><strong>What is a tongue tie?<\/strong><\/em><\/h2>\n<p>A tongue tie, also referred to as <strong>ankyloglossia<\/strong>, is when the frenulum (the small piece of connective tissue under your tongue) is tight or short, restricting the tongue&rsquo;s movements. When the tongue doesn&rsquo;t move like it should, so many aspects of eating and drinking are extremely difficult! What may look to us as parents like resistance or refusal may actually be a child struggling with oral-motor function.<\/p>\n<h2><em><strong>What are some of the signs and symptoms of a tongue tie in a toddler?<\/strong><\/em><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Preference for soft foods<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Preference for processed foods<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Unwilling or unable to eat certain foods<\/strong>, especially if they require chewing<\/li>\n<li>Child is a<strong> messy eater<\/strong>, with food often falling out of the mouth<\/li>\n<li>Food gets stuck or <strong>pocketed in the cheeks<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Gagging<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>History of <strong>difficulty breastfeeding<\/strong> (either pain in mother or failure to gain weight)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Dental difficulties<\/strong> - open bite, problems with tooth spacing<\/li>\n<li><strong>Speech and language difficulties<\/strong> - stuttering, avoiding speech, inability to make certain sounds<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><em><strong>Related article:<\/strong><\/em> <a href=\"https:\/\/highchairchronicles.com\/toddler-feeding-therapy\/\">Feeding Therapy For Picky Eater Toddlers<\/a><\/p>\n<h2><em><strong>Is the tongue the root cause?<\/strong><\/em><\/h2>\n<p>The name &ldquo;tongue tie&rdquo; gets us thinking that the main problem is the tongue itself. And, yes, the tongue maybe causing your child&rsquo;s pickiness issues. But, what&rsquo;s causing the tongue tie?<\/p>\n<p>In my work as a craniosacral therapist, I&rsquo;ve learned that a<strong> tongue tie is just the tip of the iceberg.<\/strong> What&rsquo;s really going on is overly restricted midline tissue - tension along the entire spine, from the head down to the tailbone - causing various issues throughout the body.<\/p>\n<p>Think of a soft silk scarf. It flows and moves easily. Now imagine a snag in that silk scarf that pulls a single thread in that fabric. Suddenly, it won&rsquo;t lie flat, and you can see the result of the tension on that one thread through the entire piece in the ripples and buckles it makes.<\/p>\n<p>That&rsquo;s what midline tension does to a baby or child&rsquo;s body. Often in babies, I can spot a tongue tie before even looking at their mouth at all, just by the way they lie down. You&rsquo;ll often see tongue tie babies curled up in a c-shape with their head, arms and legs reaching over to one side. Others will have their arms above their head and their backs constantly arched. Some have shoulders pulled back together. That&rsquo;s because with that one string pulled extra tight - their midline tissue - their body can&rsquo;t lie flat and be comfortable.<\/p>\n<p>I recently had an adult client who came to me for terrible migraines. After some craniosacral work, I noticed the telltale tension down the midline that comes with a tongue tie. When I mentioned it to her, she said she didn&rsquo;t know, but she had always noticed that what other people ate as a normal bite was gigantic to her! Later, she asked her mom about it, who confirmed that she had a tongue tie at birth. The midwife had noticed and clipped it, but nursing was difficult and eating had always been a struggle. And 50 years later, she was finally working out the midline tension that had plagued her since birth.<\/p>\n<p><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6070\" src=\"https:\/\/highchairchronicles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/craniosacral-therapy-tongue-tie-1.jpg\" alt=\"Baby getting craniosacral therapy for tongue tie.\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1200\" data-pin-nopin=\"true\" data-pin-description=\"Is Tongue Tie the culprit behind your toddler's picky eating?
