Supporting Oral Function After Tongue Tie: How the Bebe Myo Munchee Can Help Babies 5–18 Months
If your baby is between 5 and 18 months and has a suspected or diagnosed tongue tie, you’re likely navigating feeding frustrations, dribbling, disrupted sleep, or challenges with solids—and wondering what else might help.
At this stage, it’s not always just about having the tongue tie “snipped”. Tongue ties affect the function of the whole oral system—and for many babies, the work really begins after a release or once restrictions have been identified.
One gentle, effective tool to support oral development in this age group is the Bebe Myo Munchee.
What is the Bebe Myo Munchee?
The Bebe Munchee is a soft, chewable oral appliance made from medical-grade silicone. It’s designed for babies and toddlers to gently chew, helping strengthen the muscles of the mouth, jaw, and face.
While chewing may seem simple, it’s actually a powerful therapeutic activity for babies with oral dysfunction. Chewing stimulates saliva, improves tone, encourages lip closure, and supports correct tongue positioning — all of which are crucial for:
Post-tongue tie rehabilitation
Feeding and swallowing function
Speech and airway development
Transitioning to solids
Why Tongue-Tied Babies May Benefit from a Myo Munchee
Tongue tie often leads to compensation—where your baby overuses the lips, cheeks or jaw to make up for the lack of tongue mobility. Over time, this can cause poor muscle coordination, fatigue, dribbling, and inefficient swallowing.
Whether your baby has had a tongue tie release or you’re exploring conservative options, the BEBE Myo Munchee can help by:
Rebuilding balanced oral muscle use
Supporting correct tongue posture (up, not forward or low)
Encouraging nasal breathing and lip seal
Improving awareness of the mouth and chewing function
Supporting longer-term goals like clearer speech and easier sleep
You Can Only Get the Bebe Munchee Through a Certified Practitioner
The BEBE Myo Munchee isn’t sold online or over the counter. That’s because it must be used safely and intentionally, tailored to your baby’s age, needs, and oral function.
A certified Bebe Practitioner can offer consultations to:
Assess your baby’s oral function
Determine if the Munchee is appropriate
Fit and size the correct tool
Guide you through how and when to use it
Integrate it with your feeding, sleep, or post-release plan
You’ll receive individualised, evidence-informed support to help your baby get the most out of this powerful little tool.
Common Signs Your Baby May Benefit From the BEBE Myo Munchee
You don’t need a formal diagnosis to start asking questions. Babies aged 5–18 months may benefit from a Bebe Munchee consultation if they:
Dribble constantly or mouth-breathe
Choke or gag on textured solids
Avoid chewing or show little interest in food
Have open mouth posture or weak lip seal
Snore, wake frequently, or sleep with their mouth open
Have had a tongue tie release with ongoing functional concerns
Are slow to transition to solids or speech sounds
