Pediatric Dentist in Peachtree Corners – Gentle Help for Infant Feeding Challenges
Feeding Difficulties
Every child is different, but here are some common signs that may point to an oral restriction:
-
Difficulty latching or staying latched while breastfeeding
-
Clicking sounds or noisy feeding
-
Frequent pauses or breaks during feeding
-
Gassiness or fussiness after eating
-
Slow weight gain or long, unsatisfying feeding sessions
-
Nursing pain for the parent
If you're noticing any of these, you're not alone — and help is available.
Dr. G takes a whole-child, holistic approach to evaluating feeding challenges. During your visit, she will:
-
Gently assess your baby's tongue, lip, and jaw movements
-
Look for possible tongue or lip ties
-
Listen to your concerns and feeding experiences
-
Provide personalized guidance and recommendations
We believe in empowering parents with knowledge and support, every step of the way.
If an oral restriction is affecting your baby’s feeding, we’ll walk you through your options with clarity and care. Depending on the situation, we may:
-
Recommend continued monitoring or feeding technique adjustments
-
Collaborate with trusted lactation consultants, pediatricians, or feeding therapists
-
Refer you for a gentle frenectomy (tie release) when appropriate
-
Provide ongoing support before and after any procedure
Our goal is always to help your baby feed comfortably, grow strong, and thrive.

Understanding Infant Feeding Challenges
Feeding your baby should be a joyful, bonding experience. But when your little one struggles with latching, seems fussy after feeding, or isn't gaining weight as expected, it can be stressful and confusing. Sometimes these issues are linked to how the mouth, tongue, or lips function. At Agape, we gently evaluate for oral restrictions like tongue or lip ties that may be making feeding more difficult for your baby.
