Description

In this episode, we’re joined by Jairrah Godsil, Occupational Therapist at Children’s Mercy, to explore the often misunderstood topic of lip ties in infants. Jairrah shares how lip ties can impact feeding, oral motor development, and long-term function—and what pediatricians should look for during early assessments. We’ll also discuss the importance of a multidisciplinary approach, the role of occupational therapy in treatment, and how to navigate the balance between anatomical structure and functional impact. Whether you’re seeing infants in your clinic or collaborating with feeding specialists, this conversation offers practical insights you won’t want to miss.
