Stop second-guessing yourself when a tongue-tie walks into your clinic
A bite-size CPD course for Midwives, Health Visitors, Neonatal Nurses, Doulas and Nannies who want to assess, explain and refer with confidence - in 2 hours, at your own pace
The Problem
You've seen it more times than you can count.
A mother in tears. A baby who won't stay latched. Nipple damage by day three. Someone has already told her it's "just positioning," someone else mentioned tongue-tie, and now she's looking at you for an answer.
And you're honest, you're not always sure what to say.
Not because you don't care - but because tongue-tie sits in this awkward gap. It wasn't covered properly in your training. The guidance is inconsistent. The information online swings between "it's over-diagnosed nonsense" and "every feeding problem is tie." Meanwhile, the family in front of you needs a clear, kind, evidence-based answer today.
That's the gap this course closes.

What this is.
Tongue Tie & Infant Feeding is a short, practical CPD course you can finish in an afternoon.
No fluff, no 40-hour commitment, no wading through research papers on your day off. Just the clinical reasoning you actually need: how to assess, how to interpret what you're seeing, what to say to parents, and when to refer.
I've spent over 25 years as a Midwife and 16 years as an IBCLC, and I've taught this material to hundreds of practitioners. This is the version I wish someone had handed me early on.

Start Your Tongue-Tie Journey
The next time a mother asks you whether her baby has tongue tie, you could have an answer.
Not a hedge. Not a "let me find out." A clear, confident, evidence-informed answer that helps her make a decision about her own baby.
That's worth two hours of your afternoon.
What's inside?
Six focused modules. Two hours of CPD. One 42-page workbook you'll keep coming back to.
Module 1 - What tongue tie is, and isn't.
Getting clear on definitions, classification and prevalence - and why the debate around it has become so noisy.
Module 2 - The tongue at work.
Anatomy and function: what the tongue actually does during a feed, and what happens when it can't.
Module 3 - Assessment.
Structured assessment in practice. What to look for, how to interpret it, and how to document what you find.
Module 4 - Evidence and decision-making.
What the research does and doesn't show, and how to reason your way through a case rather than reaching for a rule.
Module 5 - Management, referral and aftercare.
Pathways, realistic expectations, and supporting families before, during and after a decision.
Module 6 - Scope, ethics and communication.
What you can say, what you can't, and how to have honest conversations with parents without overstepping your role.
Plus: Assessment prompts, reference tables and parent-friendly explanations you can use the same week you finish.
Who it's for.
This course is for you if you're a:
Midwife who wants sharper assessment skills on the postnatal ward or in the community.
Health Visitor fielding feeding questions with no easy referral route.
Neonatal nurse supporting families through early feeding.
Doula, Nanny or Maternity nanny who needs to know when to flag something and how to talk about it within your scope.
Student or aspiring IBCLC building foundational knowledge.
If you support feeding families in any capacity and tongue-tie makes you hesitate, you're in the right place.
