TikTok has become a haven for new mums, who have been sharing tips, tricks and their experiences after having their little ones.
Another technique that’s attracted attention is the ‘guppy hold’, after a lactation consultant shared a video online.
Danielle Gaus - also known as @theboobyfairy - took to TikTok where she showed followers a video of a 'guppy hold' - which she described as a way of releasing tension in babies, "specifically after a tongue tie release" - also known as a frenotomy.

In the clip, Danielle explains: "After birth, babies often have a little bit of extra tension, the guppy hold is a wonderful way to release some extra tension, specifically after a tongue tie release."
