For the hospital LCs and the primary care providers:
When the LC identifies a concern re ankyloglossia, how does the LC handle
it?
Is something said or shown to the mother and some options discussed, and
also communicated to the doctor (primary hcp)? This is how I've always done
it. I generally ask some history questions, and often it turns out there is
another family member or other siblings with tongue/speech issues.

Or does the LC only send a report to the hcp and not say a word to the
mother?

Recently had a dr. get upset about this.
