Amy said, I will also bring any research that I have. Just checking in if anyone else has had a similar "calling to the carpet" and if there are some crucial pieces of research that I don't want to miss. *************************************************************** It is so frustrating that tongue tie is still tied to a "belief" system rather than evidence. At least in some cases. Fortunately we are seeing fewer and fewer episodes of what you are experiencing, Amy. However, the AAP does NOT back these practitioners. If you take them THEIR book, "The Breastfeeding Handbook for Physicians" published jointly by the AAP & ACOG, you will find what you need on page 109 & 110. Now, this book was published in 2006. If it were to be updated someday (I hope), I'm sure there would be more than this amount of information dedicated to tongue tie. We still don't have the "study" of 1000 babies with tongue tie, half clipped and half not clipped, comparing the results AND published in Pediatrics that one pediatrician told me he needed before HE would "believe" in tongue tie, but we are getting more and more research that supports the need for dividing the tongue tie. Good luck, Amy.
