Also, side question: how do you assess pterygoid tension vs masseter tension with how they situated anatomically? Would it be assess intraorally?

[@DoulaMySoul]

Great question! The report on pterygoid tension came from the chiropractor, but it can be assessed orally in a lactation setting by allowing baby to express the bite reflex on a gloved finger, and looking for bite pressure symmetry. Diagnostics came from the chiropractor, though, after a referral for tension concerns!

These were recommended to me by my LC for my lil one's latching issues. So my doubt is should we do this before the feed or after the feed?
