    I think that you "latched" onto something.... I too ahve seen tongue tied
babies who do fine until the milk comes in and then encounter difficulties...


    I think if we look at breast shape and fullness with palatal shape and
size and tongue extention you can see that when the breast is soft and can
easily "fill" the oral cavity and be "pulled" back lack of tongue extension,
high or bubble palates are not a problem but when that breast is full and the
tongue must extend and can't or the breast does not "fill" as easily there
can be difficulties...

    If only we could watch!
