Lægerne kunne ikke forklare, hvorfor Stines datter kastede voldsomt op flere gange om dagen og ikke kunne hverken amme eller spise fra flaske. Deres løsning var at give det tid. I stedet fandt Stine selv hjælpen i Holland.
95 procent af alle kvinder kan rent fysisk producere nok mælk, viser tal fra WHO. Det handler i større grad om, hvorvidt de får den rigtige støtte og hjælp til at amme.
Ofte skyldes ammeproblemer det stramt tungebånd, og mange gange behøver læbebåndet end ikke at blive klippet. Lær at spotte forskellen på, hvornår problemerne skyldes tungebåndet fremfor læbebåndet.

Stramt tungebånd kan give problemer med fordøjelsen

Tungens bevægelighed har indflydelse på så mange ting!
Blandt andet (som Dr. Lin forklarer her):
👅 Spisning/synk
👅 Fordøjelsen
👅 Nervesystemet
👅 Søvn
Mit første indlæg på hjemmesiden handlede faktisk om tungens indflydelse på vagusnervestimulation og fordøjelsen - det kan læses her:
www.stramttungebaand.dk/stramt-tungebaand-kan-give-problemer-med-maven/Low tongue posture can lead to health issues throughout the body. The tongue is an organ that guides the digestive process, and is critical for both neural signals in the brain.
When you swallow incorrectly, it deforms the dental arch. In kids we can see ‘open bites’ or high arched palates that indicate the tongue isn’t making proper connection to the roof of the mouth.
Mouth breathing (even at night), an incorrect tongue resting posture, or an improper swallowing pattern can all contribute to the vagus nerve not being correctly stimulated.
The vagus nerve is one of the primary parasympathetic cranial nerves and drives the digestive system.
Correct swallowing activates rest and digest messages that must begin in the mouth.
During these times, the glands relax and release saliva for digestion, and the body sends hormonal signals reading the body to absorb.
These are the activities that happen when the body is resting and unstressed, particularly after we eat and when we sleep. The sympathetic nervous system on the other hand stimulates the activities that are connected to the fight-or-flight response.
When we breathe through the nose, have the tongue in the roof of the mouth, and swallow correctly, the vagus nerve is being stimulated. But when we don’t, it can lead to low vagus nerve stimulation. This can contribute to the factors that are keeping us stuck in fight-or-flight, or actually put us directly in that state.
If you don’t swallow properly you end up living in a permanent state of stress. This in turn can affect our digestion because after all, digestion isn’t a priority when you’re running for your life. Again, running or fighting is what this whole stress response system is designed for.
How to start strengthening and reconnecting the tongue to the roof of the mouth:
‘Table Top exercises’ are where you hold the entire surface of the tongue to the roof of the mouth. Suction the tongue up and right to the back of the throat and hold the posture here. Hold for 20 seconds and rest and repeat 5 times.
It feels strange, but this is how the tongue should guide the swallow response.
Do you struggle with breathing?
