Struggling with shallow latch or feeding fatigue? Gentle Beginnings offers quick, lip‑tie release performed by Atlanta’s trusted pediatric specialists. Our boutique clinic pairs hospital‑grade safety with a parent‑first environment, so your baby can feed and thrive sooner.
Our Lip-Tie Release Method
Scissor Frenectomy
A precise snip with sterile scissors releases the restrictive frenulum in seconds. Quick and effective, with minimal bleeding, no stitches, and natural healing.
Comfort-First Pain Management
Local anesthetic plus oral sucrose soothes the baby, while gentle swaddling keeps movement to a minimum.
Precision Assessment
We photograph and chart the frenulum pre‑ and post‑procedure to illustrate lip tie vs. normal range of motion for caregivers and lactation consultants.
