First let me just say thank you so much to everyone that has responded.
It's been very very helpful to me.

<<but I must say I'm becoming concerned with what I begin to suspect is
over-diagnosis of tongue-tie problems.>>

Interesting that you mention it as I have recently had the same concern
about a couple of infants.

But regarding my original query, I found this interesting.  You wrote:
"because I had hospital privileges was able to identify tongue-tie in the
first day or two of life, and then follow up with face to face consults as
necessary once mothers were home.  I think I can safely say I saw a lot of
non-problematic tongue ties>>

Yay!!!

I'm trying to let go  - and honestly not being very successful.  But my dear
friend will work it out in her own way and in her own time  - just like we
all work breastfeeding, child care and parenting difficulties.

May I forward your email to her?

Thanks so much,
Katherine
