During the past month, I had to struggle with hospital staff to get an 
obvious tongue-tie clipped, had two other babies I sent for eval the 
same week (all the same ENT)--he clipped one, not the other (I still 
disagree and the mom quit bfg'ing), saw another baby just a few days 
later and sent the parents info on tongue-tie (very classic), but dad 
refuses to even have the eval and mom is not able to maintain supply or 
feed w/o pain (I am going to try to get them to see a family practice 
doc here who clips, rather than the ENT), attended the homebirth of a 
friend--the tongue was clipped last week and just saw another baby last 
week as well where the chiropractor and I both looked at each other and 
neither one wanted to say it--we called in another chiropractor--she 
thought it was very obvious. That baby cannot stay on the breast and 
the ped told the parents that tongue-ties are not a problem (not that 
there isn't one, mind you). That's a lot of tongue-ties in 4 weeks!! It 
may be comparatively uncommon in the population as a whole, but is a 
key cause of breastfeeding difficulties.
