This study purposes an interesting conclusion:

"Conclusions: Tongue-tie is a relatively common condition in newborns.
Affected infants are significantly more likely to be exclusively bottle-fed
by 1 week of age. The ATLFF was not a useful tool to identify which tongue-
tied infants are at risk for breast-feeding problems."

I wonder if (and when) a new tool for identifing breastfeeding difficulties
will ever be developed.
