Wow.  Thank you for this!  I have been stressing my brain trying  to figure 
out what it is that is making so many babies completely  clueless.  I keep 
thinking how many babies are needing help to do what they  better do if they want 
to live....eat!!  I have been doing this for 15  years, not as much as many, 
but enough to have seen a drastic change in what I  am working with.  
This makes perfect sense to me and maybe now my brain  can go back to trying 
to understand why I am seeing so many tongue ties!  
 
One thing I was considering was that so many babies spend so much time on  
their backs, so the gravity factor is not helping get their tongues  forward.  I 
started thinking this since the posts responding to my search  for help 
getting a couple of babies to use their tongues.  Now I have  mothers give babies 
tummy time -- skin to skin tummy time. Haha.  I am  definitely seeing a 
difference.
 
The ultrasound research needs to be explored and quickly because they are  
offering them as fun things to do --- not even as a medical need, but something  
you can do at a Baby Faire....not good if we find out there is even the  
slightest possibility of damage.
 
Take care,
