Hi Rachel,
Don't know if this will help any on the issue of incidence of tongue tie,
which is quoted to occur at diff. percentages in various reports.  I am
collecting data for another project, and essentially just obtained it by
serially recording observations on every baby I saw clinically over a period
of time.  I have a set of about 85-90 babies.  Although I wasn't looking for
tongue-tie (it isn't the focus of my observation) as I began to organize the
data, I noticed that the set includes a sub-set of tt babies.  I have
organized the data for 50 of the babies and there are 3 tongue-ties in that
group.  Now the population has some selection bias as these are all babies
who needed to see an LC for feeding problems.
