Why Early Tongue Tie Treatment Matters

Early correction can help improve:

For baby

  • Feeding efficiency
  • Wind, reflux, vomiting & dribbling
  • Weight gain
  • Latch and comfort during feeds
  • Jaundice
  • Contentment and shorter feeds

For parents

  • More comfortable feeding
  • Reduced nipple trauma
  • Longer gaps between feeds
  • Lower risk of engorgement and mastitis

NHS waiting times can be long — Samantha provides timely, personalised care when feeding issues need urgent support.

Joel Holder

The clinic was amazing and Samantha was a superb practitioner — extremely professional, clear, and reassuring. She gave us so much time and was absolutely incredible with our baby. We felt completely at ease throughout. Couldn’t recommend her highly enough.

Jan A

Samantha is amazing. We went to see Samantha in her home clinic back in May when my son was 1 week old. He was struggling to latch and breastfeeding would result in both of us crying. Samantha was incredibly helpful and kind. She listened to me and was very comforting. The procedure took a few seconds and my son was blissfully unaware. My son is now 7 months and thanks to Samantha i am still breastfeeding.

Shamima Parvin

I couldn’t be happier with the service we received. Samantha is a friendly and kind individual who has a wealth of knowledge on the subject. My baby did need a tongue tie division, it was easy and very quick. Defo recommend

Frances Davies

Sam is fantastic - so reassuring, knowledgeable, empathetic and made me feel so relaxed. The tongue tie separation procedure was done quickly and efficiently. I couldn’t recommend Sam more highly.

Elianna Panayiotou

Samantha was lovely, professional and made me feel so comfortable from before even meeting her in person. The procedure was performed and she spent time with me before and after and ensured baby was ok before leaving. She gave some great tips on feeding and overall it was such a pleasant experience. Thank you Samantha, I would highly recommend you!

Sophie Crocker

Samantha is fantastic. She came to our home to assess our baby who's been having feeding difficulties. She was kind, knowledgeable, non-judgemental and professional. I had become quite anxious before her visit as we had experienced another lactation consultant being judgemental of us using bottles to top up our baby to make sure he was growing. Samantha was only kind. Strongly recommend.
