Does the tongue fit in the baby's mouth, or does it stick out a little 
at rest? Not fitting in the mouth is the working definition of 
macroglossia....

The same asymmetrical latch techniques that work with any baby should 
work with one with macroglossia if tongue range of motion is normal. 
Baby might be a less efficient feeder than normal due to the 'fit' 
issue, if less breast can be applied to the tongue.
