05.01.2022 Tongue ties don’t just impact breastfeeding success, they can also contribute to picky eating from the time babies start solids to much later in life. I have h...ad SO MANY kids who end up on my caseload in elementary school because they never grew out of picky eating as a toddler & the culprit all along was a strand of tissue called a tongue tie. We all have a frenum that helps anchor our tongue, but when that tissue is too restrictive kids tend to stick chicken nuggets, french fries, yogurt, fish crackersfood that just SQUISH between the teeth & are easily swallowed. . Here are a few FUNCTIONAL signs that your child may have a tongue tie (ankyloglossia) & would require an evaluation by an experienced SLP or OT. . Spoon & Finger Feeding . Retraction of tongue upon presentation of the spoon or unable to move tongue toward spoon due to restriction . Inadequate caloric intake due to inefficiency & fatigue . Tactile oral sensitivity secondary to limited stimulation/mobility of tongue . Over-use of lips, especially lower lip . Difficulty progressing from munching to a more lateral, mature chewing pattern . Tongue restriction may influence swallowing patterns & cause compensatory motor movements, which may lead to additional complications, such as sucking back the bolus in order to propel it to be swallowed . Possible development of picky, hesitant or selective eating because eating certain foods are challenging . Gagging &/or subsequent vomiting when food gets stuck on tongue. . Secondary behaviors to avoid discomfort that are thus protective in nature, such as refusing to sit at the table or being able to eat only when distracted. .
