In this episode of the Tongue Tie Experts Podcast, Lisa Paladino, CNM, IBCLC explores the powerful role doulas play in supporting families during the early days of breastfeeding, and why their awareness of tongue tie is essential.

Lisa explains how doulas often serve as the first line of support for new families, offering guidance when challenges with lactation and feeding arise. She emphasizes that education empowers doulas to recognize when something is “not quite right” and to refer families for timely help.

You’ll hear why collaboration among healthcare providers is vital, and how building a community of shared knowledge benefits everyone, especially the families we serve.

• The Tongue Tie Expert’s mission to spread awareness about tongue tie includes everyone
• Recognizing when breastfeeding isn’t going well is essential
• Doulas can be the first line of support before a family reaches an IBCLC
• We must not gatekeep information from doulas and families
• Collaboration improves care across the healthcare spectrum
• Most families will not see an IBCLC before giving up on their breastfeeding goals
• Doulas should know when and how to refer families

Education empowers families to make informed decisions
