Laura,
It is possible that for some infants untreated tongue-tie and difficulty
breastfeeeding leading to failure to thrive could unfortunately lead to
death. This may well have occurred when bottle feeding or alternative healthy
foods were unavailable, or a lack of surrogate breastfeeder with more
compatible anatomy. Throughout history there is evidence or supposed
implication that frenulums were divided, thus passed on through generations.

Please forgive my ignorance, but why would tongue tie be "lethal"?
