As someone who has always loved and been fascinated by birth and babies, it is no surprise that Carmelle Gentle is a qualified midwife. But after years of working in a number of roles within the NHS, Carmelle realised the need for a specialist offering within oral function (or dysfunction), so she stepped away from her NHS roles, and started The Tongue Tie Clinic (https://londontonguetieclinic.co.uk). In this episode Carmelle shares her story and experience as a midwife, mum and tongue tie practitioner.

Lucy & Carmelle discuss tongue tie, oral dysfunction, how to optimise feeding babies in the early days and week, and how this specialist area affects you life long.
