Hi Catherine

I don't know if this work has been published or if you've seen it yet - 
we've had the privilege of working with and hearing Peter Hartmann's team 
over many many years and this was one recent research project involving 
ultrasound here in lovely Perth, Western Australia.

I have a particular interest in tongue-tie as I have one myself and both my 
boys have them - lack of tongue movement is quite significant too - neither 
boy's tongue-tie was clipped and both breastfed (3yrs and 5 yrs 
respectively). I was breastfed only for 3 months but more an issue of 
misinformation about timed feeds, sleeping through the night, dummies, 
introduction of water/formula/solids etc etc etc  :-(  in the early 60s - my 
mum can't remember any significant issues with attachment/soreness/failure 
to thrive etc.

regards
Del
