My son was referred to Dr. Shethwalla due to poor weight gain, he was exclusively breastfed and had a poor latch, leaking milk while feeding either from breast or when he was topped up with pumped milk from bottle. It was pouring out of his mouth. Her solution was to up the nipple size on the bottle from 1 to 2 or 3. Even more milk was pouring out of his mouth and more was going in and he gained weight quickly. I was happy he was gaining weight but there was no solution to the poor latch. She said he did not have a tongue tie. I took him to a pediatric dentist and found out he had a posterior tongue tie and a lip tie. Once released his latch improved almost immediately and no more leaking. I fear for others who would have listened to Dr. Shethwalla and not looked elsewhere for an actual solution.
