What is amazing is that the thread about tongue tie reflects what I have
been discussing with colleagues here, and abroad.  It is not normal that so
many babies have posterior tongue ties which affect breastfeeding.  What I
am noticing in this thread is how many Lactnetters report that they also had
tongue tie.  Is there any way to take a survey?

 How many of you had tongue tie at birth?

Was it treated?

Do  your offspring have tongue tie?



I was born in 1949.  In the hospital release form it is written that I had a
tongue tie and it was corrected.  ( in my opinion, I still have posterior
frenulum)

My middle daughter has a type 3 tongue tie, and her tongue elevation is very
poor.  She transferred milk poorly and did not gain weight as she should
have.

My grandson ( from a different daughter) has a posterior tongue tie and did
not have problems breastfeeding.  He is two and a quarter.  His esses are
not great, but he is not talking enough to make a decision if his speech
will be affected



Anyone else?.
