Heidi and Pamela,
My point wasn't that the inability to make a particular sound was "proof" of
tongue-tie - only that this was something that could come out when taking a
family history. It is only relevant in relation to other factors.

I believe language has been mentioned before: I have lived in Denmark where
the majority of people cannot roll their 'r's. I cannot imagine that a whole
nation is tongue tied and that this is the primary reason ;-)
I would like to share with you on this subject: When my eldest son went to
school, the schoolnurse gave me a call about his speech: he could not roll
his r. I discussed this with her and we came to the conclusion that he might
have picked it up from me ( he is not raised bilangual, I did sing, speak
and read to him in Danish and he watched Danish childrens programs - untill
this day he can sing Postman Pat in English, Dutch and Danish!)
My other son has a beautiful rolling R: we used to challenge him to make him
say words with more than 1 R in it!
So: no conclusions. Interesting to tell: the first son had been exclusively
breastfed for 4 months. He cannot roll his R's and needed brackets at some
point. The other son was breastfed over 4 years: never tolerated anything in
his mouth like pacifiers of teats, can roll his R and never needed brackets.
