“As a new mom, I was struggling from day one with breast feeding my daughter. Neither my lactation consultant at the hospital, nor my pediatrician diagnosed her with a tongue and lip tie. I struggled to understand why she was inefficient at removing milk from my breast and I felt so much pain. It wasn’t until one day around 6 months old, I examined her myself and realized she was both lip and tongue tied. This discovery sent me on a quest of learning and educating myself on how common this is and how it continues to go undiagnosed. In that moment, I decided that I needed to help moms struggling with the same thing. This is why I started Untie Baby.” - Dr. Prokopets

With a passion for minimally invasive microsurgery and becoming a new mom, I found a huge need for helping parents navigate through the tough newborn days of feeding. With extensive training in periodontal microsurgery and the CO2 laser, along with The Breathe Institute babies course on tie release, I found an immense calling to bring my surgical expertise and compassion for new parents together.
