Tongue Update

It's three weeks since Sterling had her tongue and lip ties revised by the ENT Dr. I took her back in to the lactation consultant today just to check and make sure that everything looked good. She said it looks perfect and has healed fabulously. I was somewhat worried because I didn't do as good a job as I thought I should with the post-revision exercises. Now we just need to continue to do her tongue exercises so that she improves her range of motion.

I also picked up more lactation tincture as well as some herbs while I was there. I've been transitioning off most of the capsules I was taking in favor of the tincture. I felt like Sterling might be taking more supplement since I stopped one of the capsules, so I looked at the ingredients and found that the one thing I had been taking a capsule for that isn't in the tincture I'm currently taking is marshmallow root, so I got some capsules specifically of that. Marshmallow root increases the quality of milk, making it creamier and richer. It apparently doesn't have an effect on milk volume, but if the milk she's getting is creamier, she might need to eat less of it to feel full.

We also went for some good walks today because the weather was sunny.
